I think that building the python code that performs your logic is a
great way to start, and not getting bogged down with django is a great
way to get started.
There are several (relatively straight forward) pieces of django that
you will need to tie together.
I will simply disucss the view.py components and the html template.
Establish your python code as a module.
Import the module in the view and use it in the view.py.
def function_called_for_log_display(request):
..........call your python module
...........create a python dictionary with the information
that is pulled back by your python module
.............render the html template and pass the
dictionary values to the template
return render_to_response('polls/index.html',
{'latest_poll_list': latest_poll_list}) #I took this from the django
project tutorial
...........use the appropriate template tags/logic to display the
results of the dictionary
