Quickly build open source web pages for academic purposes in a pythonic and elegant way.

Installation

pip install pyspage

An Example

Go to directory demo/, there is already a script scatter_hist.py.

pyspage scatter_hist.py -sb

A file named scatter_hist.html is generated, your browser opens a tab and show it.

Usage

Step 1

Create a new file named index.py which consists of mainly two parts, layout and script.

In the layout part, a layout variable should be defined, of which the contents are the page elements named in a way you like. The hierarchical relationships are expressed by indenting.

layout = '''
row_a
    box
row_b
    col_a
        btn_a
    col_b
        btn_b
'''

In the script part, all the elements above should be created.

from pyspage import *
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

row_a = Row()
row_b = Row()
col_a = Column()
col_b = Column()
box = Column(class_='col-6')
btn_a = Button('CLICK a')
btn_b = Button('CLICK b')

You can define a function and let an element run it on a certain event happens.

btn_a.onclick = lambda e: print('a is clicked!')

def click_b(e):
    fig, ax = plt.subplots()
    fruits = ['apple', 'blueberry', 'cherry', 'orange']
    counts = [40, 100, 30, 55]
    ax.bar(fruits, counts)
    box.write(fig)
btn_b.onclick = click_b

def create_box():
    row_a.classList.add('bg-warning')
    box.write('This is the content.')
box.oncreate = create_box

You can create a figure with matplotlib or altair, and show it in an empty box(row or column) by box.write(fig).

Step 2

In your terminal, run as follow

pyspage index.py

a index.html in current directory is generated.

If you use the arguments -s(for server) and -b(for browser), pyspage will start a server on 127.0.0.1:8000 and open browser automatically.

pyspage index.py -sb

Deployment

This page can then be deployed on GitHub Pages, you don't have to bother about anything with HTML, JS or backend APIs.馃帀馃帀馃帀
