Thanks Hamish. I did wonder if that might be the only way, but it seemed a
bit clunky and felt that there ought to be something more sophisticated that
I've missed.
One trouble that I've found with Flask is that on its own its fairly
straightforward, but much of what is done is done my the loading of flask
modules and other helper libraries. It isn't always obvious which of those
module or libraries to study to find what I need.
That's why I've been trying to find an example from someone who has done
something similar. I've found a number of examples using javascript (I even
used one myself for the original WMT Webserver), but they all simply redirect
to another page. I need to execute a line of Python.
