Hi all. I have a basic DJANGO website project setup with 2 pages. I want the visitor to the website to visit a page and click a button. When the visitor clicks the button I want a python script to run. The script could be any given script on GITHUB. So for example the script scrapy.

I then want the result of the script to be printed to a CSV file.

Is this possible and how would I do it ?

Thank you

What I have tried:

I have tried numerous tutorials but none show how to do this. Mainly they return the output to the console log.

Does it really make a difference?

1 solution

Please, read this tutorial: How to create CSV output | Django documentation | Django[^]
This is very simple example:

Python
import csv
from django.http import HttpResponse

def some_view(request):
    # Create the HttpResponse object with the appropriate CSV header.
    response = HttpResponse(
        content_type='text/csv',
        headers={'Content-Disposition': 'attachment; filename="somefilename.csv"'},
    )

    writer = csv.writer(response)
    writer.writerow(['First row', 'Foo', 'Bar', 'Baz'])
    writer.writerow(['Second row', 'A', 'B', 'C', '"Testing"', "Here's a quote"])

    return response
