If I understand well then you like to have simple quick solution without need to learn much.
And that you don't need to support big traffic... Maybe cherrypy ( http://cherrypy.org/ ) is what you like to look at. Probably this is good enough on your ubuntu: sudo apt-get install python3-cherrypy3 You could simply run: python3 cherry_test.py # source code bellow and open web page http://localhost:8080/ in your browser. #### cherry_test.py import string import os import os.path import cherrypy from cherrypy.lib import static localDir = os.path.dirname(__file__) absDir = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), localDir) class StringGenerator(object): @cherrypy.expose def index(self): return """<html> <head></head> <body> <form method="get" action="generate"> <input type="text" value="test.txt" name="filename" /> <button type="submit">Give it now!</button> </form> </body> </html>""" @cherrypy.expose def generate(self, filename='test.txt'): with open(filename, 'w') as f: f.write('test') # generate simple output file path = os.path.join(absDir, filename) return static.serve_file(path, 'application/x-download', 'attachment', os.path.basename(path)) if __name__ == '__main__': cherrypy.quickstart(StringGenerator()) ####### Simple isn't it?
