I want a button on my website that will execute a python script

Question

I am currently making a website using django. Now I want to execute a python script from my template/view with a button on the website. It should be possible but to be honest I don't know how.

An example would be best.

Thanks for any help at all.

Answer 1

Well got it working now and just thought I would write my answer:

view.py:

import script as gh

def get_hostname(request):
        gh.main()
        return HttpResponseRedirect('/')

urls.py:

... 
url(r'^get_hostname/$', 'thinco.views.get_hostname'), 
...

somewhere in template:

...
     <form action="/get_hostname/" method="GET">
        <input type="submit" value="Liste der Thin Clients laden"> 
    </form>
...
