I'm not sure that I understand. Do you mean the user input results in a
request to
//mydomain.com/myapplication/mycontroller/myfunction?arg1&arg2
and that you're supposed to do different things according to the values of
arg1 and arg2? If that's the case, myfunction() should probably just use
regular if-statements. The branches of the if-statement can invoke
imported functions in the normal python way
import datetime
def myfunction():
if "snooze" in request.args[0]:
result = "Please rest until %s" % (request.now.timedelta(minutes=10).
isoformat())
return dict(result = result)
If you want the print actions to happen without sending an [additional]
request to the server, that's a different story. Note that you normally
can't run Python code in the browser, so returning Python to the browser
doesn't have much value. You need to have Javascript functions in place of
the Python functions. Python *does* run in the view, but that happens on
the server, and can't respond to user input until that input is turned into
a request.
If you mean something else, then you'll have to try again to explain what
you want to do.
