Can I run a python server on the same Apache PHP server in order to use charts etc. that are included in the python dash application?
The implementation now is as follows. Php server uses an iframe in order to depict the python web app that is running in the same ip but on different port, but there is a need to change it for security reasons.
You can use Apache as a proxy to an internal server.
Apache server or php interpreter don't use iframes, you're adding html code that the browser will use to embeed the python server provided webpage into an iframe.
You're not doing anything wrong but to me seems error prone.
I would use a new domain to the webpage provided by python and setup his security and certs like any other server/web.
You can add CSP, feature policy, cors policy, frame options, xss protection, strict transport...
It's posible to send a request to the server using php and display back on the webpage the fetched graphs.

I have a Python application that's that has been working correctly as backend for my website, up to now I have been running it using "python manage.py runserver IP:8000" in CMD. However I would like it to start using HTTPS, but when I try to access through my browser on https://IP:PORT I get the following error:
You're accessing the development server over HTTPS, but it only
supports HTTP.
The server I am running all of this is a Windows Center 2019 DataCenter, normally on a linux environment I would just use NGINX+GUNICORN.
I was browsing possible solutions and stumbled upon this, however I already am using IIS to host a website (My frontend), so I needed to figure out how to host several websites for the same IP, I have now found this.
Long story short, I configured the new IIS website for it to access my django, I then changed the hostname since both frontend and the new backend will using the same ip and ports (80, 443).
But now I have hit a spot where I'm confused due to my lack of experience in IIS and networking. I can't seem to understand how the request will go through to my Python-Django APP.
Something important to mention on how I access the Django APP in the past.
Lets say my front end is https://pr.app.com, whenever any request needed to be made to the backend. I would ask for said information in http://pr.app.com:8000/APIService/..../
This is how the binding for my frontend looks like
And this is the binding for the new backend where I changed the hostname as the second guide linked said
Any guidance or help would be most appreciated,
Thanks in advance
*Update
So I tried pausing my frontend website and used these bindings on the new backend website, I was able to get a screen of Django meaning it seems to be working or at least communicating.
Now I would need to have the hostname of the backend (pr.abcapi.com) somehow refer or redirect to the hostname of the frontend (pr.abc.com).
How could I achieve this?
I have been developing a Python app that serves a React frontend with server-side rendering.
Locally, this has worked fine as I'm able to run two servers on separate ports to handle different parts of my application. My Python backend receives the initial request and then sends an http request to my Node.js server which does my server-side rendering. The result is then sent back to my Python backend which injects the server-rendered frontend into the HTML which is sent to the client.
However, Heroku limits applications to a single, dynamically generated port. This limits me to only running one web server which means I'm no longer able to run my Node.js server to do my server-side rendering. I have thought of some gimmicky ways to make this work, but I don't want to have to create an entirely new app on Heroku just to run the Node.js server I need.
I'm not sure how I can make this work with these limitations in place so I'm hoping I can learn some alternative ways to make this work on Heroku. What are some viable workarounds to handle this problem?
I think you need to create to separate apps on Heroku(even though you don't want to), as far as I know there's no other available options on Heroku.
I use Heroku for a SSR application running on two apps. One for frontend(react) and one for backend(nodejs). Works like a charm
I wonder is there some optional configuration to the dev server to autorefresh page when files changed. I know that django dev server autoreload project when some changes appear but what i am looking for is refreshing the webpage like it is in for example meteor. I was googling a little and find some apps and plugins to ff and chrome.
Django is designed to web development so i suspect that such feature should be in the core of dev server. Is it?
No, dev server is just a simple server that accepts request, passes it to the django app and returns a response from the app. It is something different than you can find in some JavaScript libraries or frameworks, where data are held in browser and you only hot reload the source code and library regenerates the page using the same data.
I need to create a REST server of a python module/API of a BCI, so that the application can be accessed on my Drupal website. Will I need to create and host the REST server on a python-based website or CMS, so that it can be accessed by my Drupal website, or is the api and rest server uploaded and hosted directly on my web hosting server? If so, what is the simplest python CMS that for creating a REST server for a python module/API already available?
The beauty of REST is precisely that it doesn't matter where your API is, as long as its accessible from your Drupal server, or from the client if you have a javascript API client.
If it's a simple application and you have admin access to your Drupal server, there's nothing preventing you from hosting the Python webservice side-by-side. They may even share the same HTTP Server, like Apache or Nginx, although depending on your demands on each one it might be better to keep them separate.
If you're new to Python, the Flask framework is a decent option to write a simple REST-like API interfacing with a Python module.
I been using python to create an web app and it has been doing well so far. Now I would like to encrypt the transmission of the data between client and server using https. The communication is generally just post form and web pages, no money transactions are involve. Is there anything I need to change to the python code except setting the server up with certificate and configurate it to use https? I see a lot of information regarding ssl for python and I not sure if I need those modules and python setup to make https work.
Thanks
Typically, the ssl part for Python web app is managed by some frontend web server like nginx, apache or so.
This does not require any modification of your code (assuming, you are not expecting user to authenticate by ssl certificate on client side, what is quite exotic, but possible scenario).
If you want to run pure Python solution, I would recommend using cherrypy, which is able providing rather reliable and performant web server part (it will be very likely slower then served behind nginx or apache).
