Is it possible to release my PyTermTk app as a web app

[SZRabinowitz]

Looking for something similar to the online tryit editor.

I want to release an app as a self contained web app.

Yes it is possible but I haven't formalised the procedure yet.
I can write you down the manual procedure,
recently I also tried electron and the web app works out of the box there.

basically have a look at the web exporter, it is hardcoded to export "The Dumb Paint Tool" from the folder "tools/dumbPaintTool"

In theory, if you change this with the location of your app:

pyTermTk/tools/webExporterInit.sh

Lines 104 to 108 in a4fd0d3

	tar cvzf ${_TMP_PATH}/bin/DPT.tgz --exclude='__pycache__' --transform "s,^.*/dumbPaintTool,dumbPaintTool," \
	${_TOOLS_BASE_PATH}/dumbPaintTool.py \
	${_TOOLS_BASE_PATH}/dumbPaintTool/*.py \
	${_TOOLS_BASE_PATH}/dumbPaintTool/app \
	${_TOOLS_BASE_PATH}/dumbPaintTool/tui

And modify the web.ttk.package.json with the details of your script:

pyTermTk/tools/dumbPaintTool/web.ttk.package.json

Lines 1 to 12 in a4fd0d3

	{
	"libs" : [
	{"pkg" :"bin/TermTk.tgz",
	"name": "TermTk"},
	{"pkg" :"bin/DPT.tgz",
	"name": "Dumb Paint Tool"}
	],
	"pkgs" : [
	"Pillow"
	],
	"main": "dumbPaintTool.py"
	}

It should works.

As example you can clone pyTermTk
and run

tools/webExporterInit.sh

and check the content of the file itchExport.zip

the important files are the web.ttk.package.json and the bin/DPT.tgz

You can also manually edit it and put your app as tarball inside the bin folder and adapt the json file to point to your app, you can also add as many tarballs as you want of other libraries (i.e. pygments)
