How should I put python inputs when I create html file in python?

Question

from email import message

def main(): # Creates a main function to initiate the program
    global name, info
    
    name = input("Enter your name: ") # Makes inputs that requires an user to enter info
    info = input("Describe yourself: ")
    
main() # The program starts here

f = open('test3.html','w')

message = """<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<h1>{name}</h1>
</center>
<hr />
{info}
<hr />
</body>
</html>"""

f.write(message)
f.close()

Hello, I am creating a py file that accepts the user's inputs (which are {name} and {info} in my code) and creates a .html file. I tried to use + name + or + info + but both not worked. Are there any other ways that I can use to make it work correctly? Thank you so much for reading my question

Use an f string

from email import message

def main(): # Creates a main function to initiate the program
    global name, info
    
    name = input("Enter your name: ") # Makes inputs that requires an user to enter info
    info = input("Describe yourself: ")
    
main() # The program starts here

f = open('test3.html','w')

# add 'f' before the first quotation mark
message = f"""<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<h1>{name}</h1>
</center>
<hr />
{info}
<hr />
</body>
</html>"""

f.write(message)
f.close()

You probably also want to refactor your code to look like this:

from email import message

def main(): # Creates a main function to initiate the program
  name = input("Enter your name: ") # Makes inputs that requires an user to enter info
  info = input("Describe yourself: ")

  with open('test3.html', 'w') as f:
    body = f"""<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<h1>{name}</h1>
</center>
<hr />
{info}
<hr />
</body>
</html>"""
    f.write(body)

if __name__ == "__main__":
  main()

In the original, you imported message, but then overrode that import by assigning a variable with that same name, so this new version fixes that (though message is now an unused import, unless this isn't the entire code file)

The file writing should probably also be in main, and opening the file should use `with`. But yep, f-strings. — AKX, Jun 10 '22 at 01:37
