JavaScript how to link to a .py file

Question

I’ve recently been working with my Raspberry pi 3 and I’d like to know how to execute a certain script when let’s say I clicked a button on the website? How could I do that?

Answer 1

You could do a couple of things.
1. Make a python program that hosts a webserver on a different port. Have the javascript response to the button press reach out and make a request to that python Web server which will run the python code for every request.
2. Make a python program that will be a cgi script and make your Web server know how to process python scripts like it knows how to process php or perl.
