Geoffrey, It is not my desire to hardcode the urls, but I don't know how not to; my programming skills are limited. Or maybe I have not understood the suggests given here by you folks about how to do it in a way that is not hardcoded.
The path a user takes in my application depends on whether s/he is logged in or not, and if logged in, whether s/he goes to a map s/he created or not. If a person has a google account, s/he may not want to use the app as if s/he does, because s/he will see different results from her/his users. On top of that, the users only interface with the app is via html pages, not python pages, so I don't know how to put links that change or appear and disappear according to user responses, into an html page. If I were to wait to ask the user about his/her logging preference at key times while the python program is in control, that would be ok, but I don't know how to do that in a way that keeps the html page visible in the background the way a javascript confirm dialog produces a little popup dialog window; that's my first choice, but I don't know how. My inclination is more toward developing another related app now, but I would be pleased to learn how to code a softcoded link if you or others can explain it to me. Thanks very much for expressing your question.
