I have a Python script that can run in command line/console which works with the Google Calendar Data API to do some tasks like retrieve calendars and modify or update events. I want to turn it into a web application/interface, but was not sure what would be the optimal or simplest way going about it.
Some precursor information: I tried rewriting the application as .html files that used Javascript and its respective Google Calendar Data API. I ran into a few problems with that and found that it wasn’t working as well as my Python script. It could possibly be because I am using a business gmail domain but I’m not entirely sure. It does however work fine with Python, so I’ve decided to stick with that.
I’ve only worked with Python scripts (and I’d only call myself a beginner), so I’m not sure what would be an ideal or optimal solution. I’d preferably (re: if even possible) like to have the Python script act as a backend/web-service and interface with a website through JSON, or use a Python webframework to develop it. I hope I got the bulk of my terminology right, my apologies if anything is unclear.
Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
Go check out Google App Engine. There’s a Python API. It works well with other Google services, like Calendar. Probably the fastest way to get where you want to go.
