Django is a high-level Python  based Web Framework that allows rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.  It is also called batteries included framework because Django provides built-in features for everything including Django Admin Interface, default database – SQLlite3, etc. Today we will create joke app in django.

Creating Django Project – 

First we have to install django

cd wikipedia_app

Then add app name inside the settings.py inside INSTALLED_APPS

views.py

Python3




from django.shortcuts import render,HttpResponse
import wikipedia
  
  
# Create your views here.
def home(request):
    if request.method == "POST":
        search = request.POST['search']
        try:
            result = wikipedia.summary(search,sentences = 3) #No of sentences that you want as output
        except:
            return HttpResponse("Wrong Input")
        return render(request,"main/index.html",{"result":result})
    return render(request,"main/index.html")
