I have created a database with python and the results are kept in a text file.
I would like to create a simple html with a search button that looks through my database.
My database would be accessible only on my computer.

My database looks something like this:

Reference | Name | Dimension
XXX         AAA     45

So, for example, if I search for a specific reference I would like to obtain their name or dimension obviously.

Is this even possible with python and where do I start ?
I should mention I have basic skills in html and python.

    There are multiple ways to solve this:

    • Install a webserver on your local machine and write a full-fledged Python web application
    • Write a simple webserver and application in Python using BaseHTTPServer
    • Write an HTML/JavaScript application that doesn’t use Python at all and parses the file for itself. Note that due to recently tightened restrictions, this may still require being served by a webserver.
    • Write a Python application that writes the database to a JavaScript file. While this is inflexible (you need to run it every time you want to update the database), it’s also very simple – just encode your data with JSON and write it in a JavaScript file or element, like this.
    htmlfile = open('database.html', 'w')
htmlfile.write('<html>...')
htmlfile.write('<script>var db = ' + json.encode(database) + ';</script>');

    Either way, you’re going to have to write HTML and JavaScript.
