 * I’d like to try building my next website with python because I prefer python 
   tools? What programs are recommended to do a website with only modest code? Result
   could be HTML or wordpress.
 * I’m looking to design and build the site. I do my own content.
 * Advice please.

 * Dave, this is WordPress support. Please try a Python support forum or site.

 * WordPress is a content mangement and site building system.
 * You don’t build a WordPress site in Python, you just install WordPress: [https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/get-started-with-wordpress/](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/get-started-with-wordpress/)
 * Along the way, you’ll pick a theme [https://wordpress.org/themes/tags/full-site-editing/](https://wordpress.org/themes/tags/full-site-editing/)
   and get to work.
 * I recommend starting with a block theme that’s closest to what you want, then
   using the Site Editor to customize it further: [https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/site-editor/](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/site-editor/)
 * Besides the documentation, there’s also a video tutorial [https://learn.wordpress.org/tutorial/intro-to-the-site-editor-and-template-editor/](https://learn.wordpress.org/tutorial/intro-to-the-site-editor-and-template-editor/)
   and a full course [https://learn.wordpress.org/course/simple-site-design-with-full-site-editing/](https://learn.wordpress.org/course/simple-site-design-with-full-site-editing/)
   if you prefer those styles.
 * WordPress is built on PHP and JavaScript with a MySQL database, and the editor
   works on HTML and CSS. Python is never used in WordPress.

 * About the only way you could use Python with WordPress is to use Python to interact
   with the [WordPress REST API](https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/reference/).
   Through the API it’s possible to get and post data via anything that is capable
   of making HTTP requests, including Python.
 * It’s not clear what you’d need Python for with WordPress. If you’re keen to use
   Python, you’re likely better off not using WordPress at all and instead interacting
   directly with a mySQL database or similar.
