Hi all,

I am so new to everything, I don't even know where to post my
question... do bear...

I made this Python calculator that will take an equation as an input
and will display the computed curves on a shiny Tkinter interface

Now, I'd like to make this application available on a public web
page... and all I could come up with was this post

Hints?!
I'd also appreciate a link to a beginner forum

Thanks

well, it doesn't sound like you're quite as newbie-ish as many other
newbies

some potentially useful links:

http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/
http://infogami.com/
http://pages.google.com

assuming "beginner" implies "really wants to learn", this one's quite nice:

And perhaps you'll find this also helpful: http://modpython.org/ an
apache module that embeds the interpreter into the webserver.

sorry about the missunderstanding...

but my question is "how" and not "where" to put it online
and that's where the "newbie" comes from

If you just want to make it available for download, that's easy. If you
want to make it open source, you could upload it to
planet-source-code.com (I used to put a lot there; don't know if they
have a python section) or SourceForge depending on your "market".

But what I think you want is a web interface (where a user goes to your
site and uses it in the browser window). This is more tricky, but you're
almost certainly going to have to abandon Tkinter. You could try doing
an applet in Jython (which compiles Python to Java bytecode so you could
in theory do a Java-style applet).

The alternative is to have the curve drawn server-side, so you would
have an HTML form on the page, and on clicking a button, load the graph
(into an "iframe" or something perhaps [I have a feeling iframes have
been deprecated - check first]). In which case you'd want to look up
CGI, AJAX, etc.

I'd suggest drawing curves in a <canvas>; supported by Firfox, Safari,
Opera ... and, if you use Google's "excanvas", it can be supported by
IE.

Could it be done with SVG XML?
