You could have a look at "pydoc" ("the Python documentation tool").

As the name indicates, it is for documentation not for the
execution of funtions (which may be **VERY** dangerous).
But it can show you how to integrate an HTTP server
and how to use Python's `inpect` module to determine
function signatures.
You would need to create the forms yourself and the function
execution actions (and again: executing arbitrary functions is
really dangerous -- do not do it!).

Depending on what you need to use the forms for, this might suffice.

A library that converts a type-annotated function into a webpage with HTML forms?

[James Lu]

Is there a python library available that converts a type-annotated Python
function into a webpage with HTML forms?

Something like:


def foo(name: str, times: int):
return f"Hello {name}!" * times

serve_from(foo, host="0.0.0.0", port=3000)

Turning into a server that serves something like this:


name




And hitting the submit button executes the function.

I'm aware I could use sls, and build a form manually, but that's extra work.
