Web Form to Python Script to Text File to zip file to web
#1
Greetings folks,
I might be over thinking my question but let me ask it and get feedback from experts.

I want to have a web form that has multiple fields (devicename, redundant, sharedIP, indaIP, indbIP) and I want to pass those variables to a python script that will then run and create some text files that I will use for other things and then I will have the text files added to a zipped file and then return an html page to the user with a link to the zip file. What I am trying to do is create files that engineers can use to configure some devices.

So engineer would put the information in the browser and then they would get a zipped file with multiple text files that they will use to configure a device (standalone) or a pair of devices (High Availability)

Do I use Flask, or CGO or what? I have done this with perl in the past, but can't wrap my head around how to do this all with python.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Wally

Flask is fine for this,it should be a quite manageable/simple task to do.
The obstacle here can be more that you new to this in Python/Flask.
Look at some tutorial eg this match the task pretty good,if just change some stuff.
