Have a Python application and want to run it on the web? Thinfinity® VirtualUI is a windows software virtualization solution.

How to run Python development as a web app

In order to move your Python application to the web with VirtualUI, you’ll need to add some code lines to your application.
First, we need to add an import from win32com.client:
import win32com.client

Run Python app on a browser

Then, create an object calling the Thinfinity.VirtualUI library:
self.VirtualUI = win32com.client.Dispatch(“Thinfinity.VirtualUI”)

Run Python app on a browser

And last but not least, you need to the VirtualUI.Start() method right before the mainloop() starts:
def run(self):
self.VirtualUI.Start (60)
self.tkRoot.mainloop()

Hello Madame. I really love this article. But I face difficulty in understanding how to modify my script. I use python as my programming language . I have a desktop application which I really love to put as a commercial service on a web page. Please a simple example of a script will be of great help. Thanks
