RussianQuestion
I am trying to have user enter a number which will call a query and show the results in a table for user to compare, but when the user submits the form, the python program gets the input and get the results properly.
In short, user enters a number and it generates a small table of results.
Some reason the input is not been passed.
Please check my work to see what is wrong.
Here is main.py:
from bottle import request, route, run, view
@route('/')
@view('index.html')
def index():
print request.GET.get('choice');
return dict(choice = request.method == 'GET');
run(host = 'localhost', port = 9988);
Here is the index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>

Solution
Move the code from the template to the index() function and pass the lists as dictionary values.
In general, try to restrict the programming logic in a template to a minimum required to render data.
OTHER TIPS
I don't understand what this line is supposed to be doing:
return dict(choice = request.method == 'GET');
This is creating a dictionary with a single key, 'choice', whose value is either True if the request method is GET, or False otherwise. I highly doubt that's what you meant. Perhaps you meant this:
return {'choice': request.GET.get('choice')}
