Telnet to remote system and format output via web page

[Kenroy Bennett]

Hi


I would like to create a web  app using flask or cgi library  along with telnetlib to telnet to specific servers and execute commands and retrieve the output.
The output will then be  formatted and outputted to a webpage .

. Is this the best way of getting info from a remote system to be output to a web page? 

Is flask over kill for project like this ?

Thanks,
Kenroy
