To build web applications using Python 3, you can use the Flask framework. Flask is lightweight, flexible, and great for creating web apps quickly. Here are the steps to get started:
Install Flask: First, activate your Python environment and install Flask using pip:
source env/bin/activate # Activate your environment pip install flask
Create a Simple Flask Application: Create a Python file (e.g.,
app.py
) and write a basic Flask app:from flask import Flask app = Flask(__name__) @app.route('/') def hello(): return 'Hello, World!' if __name__ == '__main__': app.run(debug=True)
Run the Application: Run your Flask app:
python app.py
Routes and View Functions: Define routes (URL paths) and view functions (what to display for each route). For example:
@app.route('/about') def about(): return 'About page' @app.route('/contact') def contact(): return 'Contact us'
Dynamic Routes: Create dynamic routes that accept parameters (e.g., user IDs):
@app.route('/user/<int:user_id>') def user_profile(user_id): return f'User {user_id} profile'
Debugging: Enable debug mode during development for helpful error messages:
app.run(debug=True)
Remember to adapt this example to your specific project.
