Is there a server side framework that will build a website for me? I'm not a web dev, but I'd like to build a web app. What I'm looking for is a framework that will essentially be like a GUI framework and build the html and requisites. I prefer Python, but I'm still curious if it exists at all.

Struts & Springs !

You could try Vaadin with Jython.

Various developers have had a shot at the whole "generating HTML with a WYSIWYG" thing over the years, but it never really works out or produces anything of particularly high quality.

If you're interested in web app development with Python, you can checkout Flask for a hands off approach which simply let's you define endpoints and associated behaviours without constraint - or you can try Django, which follows the ever popular MVC pattern. Others are available, but those are the popular ones.

Quite handy, but I think it requires python on server https://github.com/dddomodossola/...

@KeyWeeUsr Will this require that I learn JS or anything in addition to Python? I do plan to learn basic web dev stuff eventually, but I want to pump something nice out in one language so I don't spread my skill set thin.

@sheeponmeth I think it's all in python
