Template Usage When Creating A Project

Question

Playing around creating a Web App in VS that includes html, css, and javascript. The template I initially used was a Python template. It keeps wanting me to set the Startup file and forces me into a cmd whenever I try to run debug. I added an empty .py file to the project but I don't have any python code in the code yet and it appears to be choking on the DOCTYPE HTML statement. Is there anyway to easily rectify this so that when I debug and want to run in a browser it does so immediately without crashing with errors? Do I need to convert the HTML code to Python? Is there a template that I can use that would allow me to run the app in Windows, Android and IOS without any overhead of other programming flavors (like DJANGO)? And if there is, can I add Python to it later?

Hi @Steve Arndt , 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

You can right click on your .py file and select Set as Startup File.

For more details, please refer to: Quickstart: Create your first Python web app using Visual Studio. 

Sincerely,

Anna
