I will attempt to provide enough information: Sorry, but this isn't possible to do. Firefox is treating your .py as a download. If you want a browser-based application, you need to look into using a web framework like django or flask instead of desktop-based frameworks like tkinter.

It's not uncommon to be running some other service other than the web server, and accidental configurations happen all the time. A firewall is a simple security measure to contain such problems.

If you want to write a device driver, you need to look at the operating system the driver will run on and see what programming language the documentation suggests. On linux, that will be either C or in a few new cases Rust. A driver for Windows would most likely be written in C++. I'm not familiar with programming Mac or mobile platforms, but I know they have their preferred languages as well. If you are writing a user-space tool or program, you probably want to look in a different direction than C++.

Many VPS providers have bad reputations for not policing spam senders, and as a consequence large email services like gmail often block whole ip ranges that belong to these VPS providers.

I would not recommend running an MTA on a dynamic IP address. I can absolutely guarantee you that emails sent from such a system will not reach the recipient. Most email servers block emails from MTAs with dynamic IP addresses. When running an MTA, IP address reputation is a huge factor in whether or not your emails land in spam or not. If you want to run your own MTA, you need a static IP that is not on any blocklists.
