Introduction
Creating a website is a common challenge that developers face. If you’re new to web development, it can be daunting to figure out how to create a website from scratch. In this article, we’ll show you how to create a website with Python.
We’ll cover the following topics:
– Setting up your development environment
– Creating a basic web page
– Adding HTML and CSS to your web page
– Deploying your web site
Why use Python to make a website?
Python is a versatile language that has many modules and libraries that allow for robust programming. In terms of website development, Python offers an integrated development environment, which is convenient for programmers who are just starting out. In addition, Python is easy to learn, especially if you have some experience with HTML and CSS.
What do you need to make a website with Python?
When it comes to making a website, there are many different ways you can do it. You can use PHP, ASP.NET, Joomla, WordPress, and the list goes on. But what if you want to use Python?
Fortunately, there are a few options available to you. In this article, we’re going to take a look at two of the most popular options: Django and Flask.
Django is a high-level Python web framework that enables rapid development of secure and maintainable websites. Built by experienced developers, it takes care of much of the hassle of web development, so you can focus on writing your app without needing to reinvent the wheel. It’s free and open source.
Flask is a lightweight Python web framework based on Werkzeug and Jinja 2. It’s intended for getting started very quickly and was developed with best intentions in mind. Flask is also easy to get started with as it doesn’t require particular tools or libraries. It’s free and open source like Django.
Setting up your development environment
Python is a versatile language that you can use on the backend, frontend, or full stack of a web application. In this article, we will show you how to set up your development environment so you can start building your own Python web applications.
Before we get started, you will need to have the following tools installed on your computer:
-Python 3
-A text editor (we recommend Sublime Text)
-pip (a package manager for Python)
Once you have all of the above installed, you are ready to start setting up your development environment!
Creating a Python web application
Python is a versatile scripting language that you can use on the backend of your web application to control your web content. In this guide, we will show you how to create a Python web application.
Testing your Python web application
Python is a versatile language that you can use on the backend of a website, to create sophisticated database-driven sites. In this tutorial, you will create a Python web application, using the Flask microframework.
You will first create a local development environment for your Python web application. Then you will set up version control for your project so that you can track changes to your codebase. Next, you will install Flask and other dependencies for your project. Finally, you will write Python code to implement the basic functionality of your web application.
If you are new to Python, or web development in general, we recommend that you start with ourBeginner’s Guide To Setting Up A Local Development Environment For A Python Web Application tutorial. This guide will walk you through all the steps necessary to get your local development environment set up for Python web development.
Deploying your Python web application
Web applications created in Python typically make use of a WSGI server. This document will guide you through deploying your WSGI application on Debian 9 (Stretch) with Apache2, using mod_wsgi.
Before getting started, be sure to install the following:
– Apache2
– Python 3
– mod_wsgi
-virtualenv (recommended)
Your web application’s code will live in /var/www/html/myapp/. First, create this directory and give it appropriate permissions:
sudo mkdir /var/www/html/myapp
Conclusion
So there you go! You now know how to make a website using Python. You’ve also learned a lot about HTML and CSS, and you’ve even seen how to use some of the popular Python web development frameworks.Now it’s time to put all of this knowledge into practice and build something yourself!

Credits
In order to make a website with Python, you will need a few things. First, you will need a text editor. A text editor is a program that allows you to write and edit code. Some examples of text editors include Sublime Text, Atom, and Visual Studio Code.
Next, you will need a web server. A web server is a program that runs on your computer and allows people to access your website. Some examples of web servers include Apache and ngrok.
Finally, you will need a Python interpreter. The Python interpreter is a program that takes your Python code and runs it on your computer. You can download the Python interpreter from the official Python website.
