通过Javascript调用Python方法

Question

I am trying to call a simple python method through JavaScript. But I am not able to call that method. Here is my code of Python:

def main():
    return   "Hello from Python"

Here is my JS:

<script>
function call() {
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "/gadget/call.py",
        success: callbackFunc
    });
}

function callbackFunc(response) {
    console.log(response);
}
</script>

My ajax function reads the python file as text file and return the complete text of that file. It does not execute python method.

If someone have any idea to call a python file through JavaScript. Please help me on it.

Thanks

You can create a REST API (such as flask) in python, and then the javascript will call this API using ajax- and then, the flask server will execute your python code. More about flask: http://flask.pocoo.org/ . Enjoy!
