Python is already used in the backend of most web applications, but sadly it does not work with web browsers to drive the frontend of those applications. Transcrypt can help by creating more coherent web-based projects, using Python to write both the backend and the frontend.

This course builds on the lessons in Using the Python Transcrypt Transipler for Front-end Coding to implement a complete React and Python web-based project. In each chapter, we will refactor existing code to add new functionality, building up the application as you go. Each chapter ends with a running application that includes all of the features we added up to that specific point.

Using Python and Transcrypt to Build a Complete Web Application


The main purpose of this chapter was to learn how we can deploy our application. Initially, we looked at how we can create a production build for the front-end of our web application. Then, we learned more about general server architecture and a little bit about web servers. Next, we learned about WSGI containers. A WSGI container is a specification that describes how a web server communicates with web applications. We read about the popularity of a WSGI container, Gunicorn for Flask applications. We also learned how we can set up Gunicorn for our FLASK REST server. Next, to serve the static content of our web application, we learned how to implement NGINX and configure it. Fnally, we read about the importance of SSL when deploying the web application.
