If you want to put Tkinter on your web site then you probably will be dissapointed. If you want to use a Tkinter GUI to create HTML/PHP content then thats OK. > - open and run a C and/or Python code (including arguments where > necessary), > - name and safe generated html/php files. > > The only thing I found is the following line of code: > filemenu.add_command(label="Open...", command=askopenfile) If thats all you found you were probably looking in the wrong place. There is a Tkinter section on the Python website with links to Tkinter tutorials. Or you can try my ultra basic level intro to GUI programming with Tkinter. I think you need a Frame containing an Entry widget for the command(or a drop down list or menu) and another Entry for the filename, which could be populated via the standard dialogs. Finally you need a button to execute the command and that will call the commands module or os.popen or somesuch mechanism to do the work. Have a look at the Tkinter tuitorials. If you don;t understand them try doing a command line version first, making sure to separate the function that does the work from the code that gets user input and displays output. See how you get on...
