It is definitely doable and as a learning experience on web apps its a good starter project. You will need to run a web server on your machine, but Flask provides a basic server that will suffice. It can write to a file or a database. Looking beyond the web aspect, if its just for your local machine use then a desktop GUI might be a more suitable mechanism than a web page, it would be lighter weight and offer more design features. But if you want to learn Flask then this is a good starting point. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
