I have some experience in nodejs
and php
and almost zero experience in python
, and I need to write a very simple 1-page script on my small VM which takes input through GET
and executes some bash
commands based on the input. So I thought python would be better suited for it since it already comes pre-installed with ubuntu
, plus it would provide me an opportunity to start learning python
.
I Googled all day and only found references to SimpleHTTPServer
which only seems to be for delivering static server-side web-pages. Where do I start in python
to achieve a mix of dynamic server-side pages and bash
scripting with minimum additional installation and configuration?

The goal is that you add some code of your own to your question to show at least the research effort you made to solve this yourself. – Cyrus Mar 14 '18 at 03:54

1Try flask, which suit your purpose. (Less or no configuration) (dynamic) (server side page rendering) (also execute scripts on server). – Reck Mar 14 '18 at 04:02

1@Cyrus: that was the point of my question, I didn't even know where to begin to even start simple writing hello world dynamic page. – bakasan Mar 14 '18 at 04:08
