What about an example of using the webbrowser as the frontend? I use some pen-testing suites that use html as the GUI.
Here is an example, kind of ugly since it is just to demonstrate what you can do.
Also, I am no web developer so the html was mostly pulled from w3schools.com.
Example:
import socket, webbrowser
#setup our socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
#set socket to reuse address, if you don't you will eventually get
#socket errors with repetitive access
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR,1)
#bind socket to localhost and port 44444
s.bind(('',44444))
#I am not a web developer and most of this was from
#w3schools.com
