run bash command in python and display on browser

Question

I have this simple python code:

import os
#os.system ("bash -c 'ls /home/'")
script = "ls /home/user/"
os.system(script)

How do I use PHP to display the output?

This question is WAY too broad. You haven't told us a single piece of information about your website. — Morgan Thrapp, Feb 02 '16 at 14:37

You could use `cherrypy` or `django` to deal with webpages and web servers. — DainDwarf, Feb 02 '16 at 15:01

Not with HTML, but using PHP first you can output to HTML from a python script using shell_exec e.g.

<?php $output = shell_exec("python scriptName.py");
echo '<p>'.$output.'<p>'; ?>
