Hello,
I want to do something through python what applets do in java.
Through a website I want people to log in and do some tests locally on their
machines and send the results
to the server.
According to my understanding we have methods like applets or flash to do
something
locally on the client machine.
Is there any way in python we can achieve it ?
The only reason why Java applets or Flash can 'do something locally on the
client machine' is because the browser 'allows' it do so use using plugins like
a Java runtime or a flash player. Basically, browsers by themselves are
incapable of executing any code(*). So, if you want to execute python code from
a browser, your clients would will need a browser that supports python runtime,
which afaik does not exist.
Most people use Javascript (which most people enable on their browsers these
days) for basic client side execution or Java/Flash, which have client side,
browser/runtime/OS specific quirks.
I have my test scripts in python(which do some communication and file
transfer to serial devices connected locally), and I would like to avoid
rewriting them in java.
Judging by what you require, you'd be better off creating a standalone
downloadable executable.

(*) HTML is not code and most (all?) browsers have a javascript engine to
execute javascript code.
