@app.route('/myroute', methods=['POST, GET'])
def test():
    a = 2 + 2
    requests.post('/another_ajax_url', data = a)
    #do the other stuff and return to /myroute
    b = 3 + 3
    return jsonify(b=b)

Yes, you can do that but you may prefer to use something like celery if you don't need the result.

Doing an http request inside the client request will block the client until the request is completed and the remaining of your code executed.
