I have to confess that so far I only used python for implementing libraries and tools I can run from the command line.
Now I want to create something where the user interacts with a python process from a web browser. This could work in a similar way to jupyter notebooks.
What would be most important for my purposes are:
Does something like that exist? Or does something exist that would make it relatively easy to implement the missing parts?
If not, would it be possible to do this as a native (but portable to Windows, Linux, MacOS) desktop GUI solution, rather than a web GUI?
What are your thoughts about this?
Now I want to create something where the user interacts with a python process from a web browser. This could work in a similar way to jupyter notebooks.
What would be most important for my purposes are:
- the ability to easily interact with free text in a way that is similar to editing: the use should be able to mark text, choose actions from a menu for the marked text, the GUI should be able to update when the user clicks on parts of text which are presented in different style or color etc.
- ideally, the ability to create the layout of the page in a GUI editor, rather than just programmatically
- actions in the web page as easily programmable in the python backend, rather than doing everything in javascript or similar. I am aware that for the web gui one does need javascript and html and the dom, but ideally, the solution would abstract away from this as much as possible and just allow me to handle gui objects from the python backend
