Python is a versatile language, and you can indeed use it for web development. Let's get started:
Choose a Framework:
There are two popular Python frameworks for web development: Django and Flask.
Django: Ideal for creating large applications with built-in features like authentication, ORM (Object-Relational Mapping), and admin panels¹.
Flask: Lightweight and great for smaller, simpler websites¹.
To install Django, run:
pip install Django
For Flask, use:
pip install flask
Set Up Your Project:
Initialize your chosen framework in your project folder.
For Django, use:
django-admin startproject projectname
For Flask, create a Python file (e.g.,
app.py
) and set up your app.
Define Your Website's Structure:
You'll need to use HTML to create your website's structure. Even with a framework, HTML is essential.
Set up your templates, static files (CSS, JavaScript), and other necessary components.
Create Routes and Views:
Define routes (URL paths) and views (Python functions that handle requests).
In Django, create views using classes or functions.
In Flask, use decorators to define routes and corresponding view functions
