Creating a Multi-Tasking Tool with Python: The Basics | #viral #shorts | Code Dragon 🐍⚙

Posted by

To develop a multi-tasking tool using Python, we will first need to create a basic HTML page that will serve as the interface for our tool.

Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to create the HTML page:

Step 1: Create an HTML file
Start by creating a new HTML file and give it a suitable name such as "multi_tasking_tool.html".

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<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">
    <title>Multi-Tasking Tool</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Multi-Tasking Tool</h1>
    <p>Use this tool to perform multiple tasks simultaneously.</p>
    <button onclick="startTask()">Start Task</button>
    <div id="output"></div>

    <script>
        function startTask() {
            // Add Python code here to perform tasks
            document.getElementById("output").innerHTML = "Tasks are running...";
        }
    </script>
</body>
</html>

In the above code, we have created a basic HTML page with a heading, a paragraph explaining the tool, a button to start the task, and an empty div element where the output of the tasks will be displayed.

Step 2: Add Python code for multi-tasking
Now, we will use Python to perform the multi-tasking functionality. We will create a Python script that will execute multiple tasks simultaneously.

import time
import threading

def task1():
    for i in range(5):
        print("Task 1 is running...")
        time.sleep(1)

def task2():
    for i in range(5):
        print("Task 2 is running...")
        time.sleep(1)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    thread1 = threading.Thread(target=task1)
    thread2 = threading.Thread(target=task2)

    thread1.start()
    thread2.start()

    thread1.join()
    thread2.join()

In the above Python script, we have defined two functions task1 and task2 that simulate tasks running for 5 seconds each. We have used the threading module to run these tasks simultaneously.

Step 3: Connect Python code to HTML page
To connect the Python code to the HTML page, we will use Flask, a lightweight web application framework for Python.

First, install Flask using the following command:

pip install Flask

Next, create a new Python file named "app.py" and add the following code:

from flask import Flask, render_template
import threading

app = Flask(__name__)

def task1():
    for i in range(5):
        print("Task 1 is running...")
        time.sleep(1)

def task2():
    for i in range(5):
        print("Task 2 is running...")
        time.sleep(1)

@app.route("/")
def index():
    return render_template("multi_tasking_tool.html")

@app.route("/start_task")
def start_task():
    thread1 = threading.Thread(target=task1)
    thread2 = threading.Thread(target=task2)

    thread1.start()
    thread2.start()

    thread1.join()
    thread2.join()

    return "Tasks completed successfully"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)

In the above code, we have defined two routes – "/" for the main HTML page and "/start_task" to start the multi-tasking functionality. We have used the render_template function to render the HTML page.

Step 4: Run the Flask application
Save the Python script and run the Flask application by executing the following command:

python app.py

Open your web browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:5000/. Click on the "Start Task" button to initiate the multi-tasking tool and see the tasks running simultaneously.

Congratulations! You have successfully developed a multi-tasking tool using Python and created a basic HTML interface for it. Feel free to customize and expand on this project to add more features and functionalities. #viral #shorts #CodeDragon 🐍
