Creating portal for xwindows application - abby007 - Jan-30-2018

Hello Python Gurus,

I have a need wherein I want to be able to export an existing application that has a GUI as a web-portal.

Example - in a XWindows, I can display xClock, but I want to show this as a web page when I got to a hyperlink <say http://servername/xclock.py>?

Is it possible? I saw some similar examples using VBScript, but that's not my cup of tea.

Additional info: The server 'm running this application is a Linux host, and as per corporate guidelines, VNC/xWindows are not allowed making our life miserable. So need a simpler solution that can port any application as a webpage once we start httpd on the server.

Thanks for all your help in advance.
