Making a Python script accessible

Agreed - compiling into a stand alone exe seems to be the most sensible solution in this use case. Getting a python environment on their machines or hosting a web app is more troublesome.

Ow, I will try this.

Does it work well when including libraries (sql, pandas, etc ...) ? Any precautions to take ?

Thanks !

Maybe in small companies, in larger companies however there are lots of rules and policies to follow. You cant just get a server set up on your demand and you dont just set up a rouge server.

If i would do that kind of shit i would be fired as soon as the server gets identified by the ITdept.

A pineapple almost cost me a job already, should not have named its ssid anonymous

The thing is it is a little association (we are 8) and we don't have proper IT support :p.

I think I'll ditch the WebApp as it will take too much time compared to the creation a exe or dmg script.

Here is a launcher application:

import PySimpleGUI as sg
import os

def Launcher():

    form = sg.FlexForm('Script launcher')
    layout =  [
                [sg.Text('Script output....', size=(40, 1))],
                [sg.Output(size=(88, 20))],
                [sg.ReadFormButton('script1'), sg.ReadFormButton('script2'), sg.SimpleButton('EXIT')]
              ]

    form.Layout(layout)
    # ---===--- Loop taking in user input and using it to query HowDoI --- #
    while True:
        (button, value) = form.Read()
        if button == 'EXIT' or button is None:
            break           # exit button clicked
        if button == 'script1':
            ExecuteCommandOS('python SimScript.py')
        elif button == 'script2':
            ExecuteCommandOS('python SimScript.py')
        elif button == 'Enter':
            ExecuteCommandOS(value[0])      # send string without carriage return on end


def ExecuteCommandOS(command):
    output = os.popen(command).read()
    print(output)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    Launcher()

The code produces the following GUI:

The output from the script will be shown in the window above the buttons. Add as many buttons as you want. Associate buttons to any scripts you want to offer to run.
