Use Python to start/stop a server service via a webform? - oakleaf2001 - Apr-04-2020

I have a couple of Debian servers with webmin on them. For security, I'd like to keep the webmin service off, but allow some users to turn the service off and on via a simple, password-protected webform on an unlinked back page.
I'm considering what language and approach to use. How possible is this to do with python? (I'm not a pythonist, so I'd be hiring someone for that. ) Any links to some useful source code that could be tweaked for this? (I do have some programming background) Thanks much.
