title: running client-side python script at a click of a button (on a webpage)
body: <p>So I'm trying to modify some HTML to have a button that initiates a python script that acts on a few files in ones own system.</p>
  
  <p>more specifically, i have a python script that reads through snort logs and produces a link to a new website (really, an IP address that takes parameters for a packet-capture stream search)
  I'm trying to implement this script as a button on a website.
  -note: it's ok if whoever is clicking on the button(s) needs to have the script.py on their own machine</p>
  
  <p>I've <em>tried</em> to do my homework on the subject, but there seem to be infinite options - most of which aren't agreed upon by any 2 parties.
  Do i NEED a framework? can i not just call my python script from its directory using some &lt; script / >'s or something in my HTML code?</p>
