How can I use unicode strings in tornado views or templates?
I insert in template
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
And in view# -- coding: utf-8 --
Output is ????
Once you have your unicode string ready, the request should end
self.render("template.html", aString=aUnicodeString)
This renders the file "template.html" setting the aString variable to aUnicodeString.
template.html would look something like this:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
</head>
<body>
{{aString}}
</body>
</html>
It's also possible to inline the HTML in the Tornado server.
self.render('<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /></head><body>{{aString}}</body></html>', aString=aUnicodeString)

I'm new to creating web apps through flask and html. I created a very simple page that takes input from the html file and displays a table in another html. My python flask and html both are running fine. I wanted to add some bootstrap.css, so tried adding the div class=container to the html page using visual studio code. I previewed it with the 'Live Server' in visual studio code and it works fine. However, when I start the local server to work with flask, at that time bootstrap css is not getting applied. What I see is a barebone html page without styles being applied. All functionalities works fine though.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.
Error Message: "GET /css/bootstrap.css HTTP/1.1" 404 -
Note: I'm not sure why the code is looking for "/css/" folder while I have clearly put my css file in the static folder and referenced it
You need to replace href="/static/bootstrap.css" and replace it with:
href="{{url_for('static', filename='bootstrap.css')}}"
You need to do that, because you write in flask like this. Normally you would do it like you did it. Feel free to tell me any errors
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{url_for('static', filename='bootstrap.css')}}">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
the above change to href as suggested by the user 'malware' helped resolve this.
I also commented the below line in my python code as that doesn't seem to be the problem
#app._static_folder = '<path>'
attached is the picture of how my directories are upi am trying to run my app with flask, and I am referencing the proper directories, yet I keep getting an error 404 message. I do not know what I am doing wrong.
Here is my the code to run the app in the app.py section:
#app.route('/')
def math():
#return(y)
return render_template('index2.html', variable = y)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(debug = True)
and here is my html code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">

<title>Scrolling Nav - Start Bootstrap Template</title>
<!-- Bootstrap core CSS -->
<link href="/static2/static2/vendor/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- Custom styles for this template -->
<link href="/static2/static2/css/scrolling-nav.css" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- Bootstrap core JavaScript -->

<!-- Custom JavaScript for this theme -->
<script src="/static2/static2/js/scrolling-nav.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
the scrolling -nav.js is in the correct folder for sure.
Please let me know if there is more information needed for this question.
For references to static files in Flask it's considered best practice to use the url_for function e.g.
<script src="{{url_for('static', filename='js/scrolling-nav.js')}}"></script>
Other than that, if that is your full HTML then it's just a javascript file, do you have the basic HTML stuff in there as well? e.g.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
</head>
<body>
Content
</body>
<html>
Is index2.html stored in a templates folder?
I got it. My directories name was static2. The directories name must be "static" for the css and js files to be pulled.
my django app calls a python script(query.cgi). but when I run it, the website shows the html printout from that script instead of showing the output as a webpage.
def query(request):
if request.method == 'GET':
output = subprocess.check_output(['python', 'query.cgi']).decode('utf-8')
return HttpResponse(output, content_type="text/plain")
The webpage shows:
Content-Type: text/html
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="css/css_4.css" media="screen" />
<title>....</title>
</head><body>.....</body></html>
Thanks for any help!!
return HttpResponse(output, content_type="text/plain")
The reason it's returning escaped HTML is because you have content_type='text/plain', which says you are just sending plain text.
Try changing it to 'text/html'.
I'm building a web page using CGI and Python (yes, I know, horrible combination!). I have some unicode data stored inside my SQLite 3 database, which I load in my Python script. When it's time to combine those unicode characters with HTML, I'm viewing things like this in my web browser:
\xc3\xb3
Instead of:
ó
I think the problem isn't in the HTML code, because I have defined the encoding like this:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
This is how I'm rendering the HTML code (using web.py's templating system):
render = web.template.render("templates")
return render.index(name)
Where name is:
name = cursor.execute("SELECT name FROM names").fetchone()
And the template (index.html):
$def with (name)
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="es" lang="es">
<head>
<title>untitled</title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
Hello, $name!
</body>
</html>
How can I achieve this?
I have the following asp script which uses python 2.5:
<%# Language = Python CODEPAGE="65001"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html lang="sv" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
Jellö Wörld<br>
<%
Response.Write(u'Hellö Wörld<br>')
%>
</body>
</html>
It works correctly, hurrah! However, it will become annoying if I have to use u'' all over the place. What alternatives are there? Is there any future I can import so that I can have python3 like strings?
Thanks for your help,
Barry.
from __future__ import unicode_literals
However, you will need 2.6 or later for this to work.
