how to create news page in python

To create a news page in Python, you can use the Flask web framework along with HTML templates and a database to store news articles.

  1. Install Flask using pip:

    main.py
    pip install flask
    
    18 chars
    2 lines
  2. Set up a Flask app with a route for the news page:

    main.py
    from flask import Flask, render_template
    
    app = Flask(__name__)
    
    @app.route('/news')
    def news():
        # Retrieve news articles from database
        articles = get_articles()
        # Render the news template with the articles
        return render_template('news.html', articles=articles)
    
    278 chars
    11 lines
  3. Create an HTML template for the news page (named 'news.html' in this example):

    <h1>Latest News</h1>
    
    {% for article in articles %}
    <div class="article">
        <h2>{{ article.title }}</h2>
        <p>{{ article.content }}</p>
    </div>
    {% endfor %}
    
    160 chars
    9 lines
  4. Create a database to store news articles. You can use a SQL database like SQLite or PostgreSQL.

  5. Define a function to retrieve news articles from the database:

    main.py
    import sqlite3
    
    def get_articles():
        conn = sqlite3.connect('news.db')
        cur = conn.cursor()
        cur.execute('SELECT * FROM articles')
        articles = cur.fetchall()
        conn.close()
        return articles
    
    207 chars
    10 lines
  6. Populate the database with news articles using an admin interface or a script.

With these steps, you can create a news page in Python using Flask, HTML templates, and a database.
