Jimmy,
Not sure what JavaScript library you use (or if you're familiar with
JavaScript at all), but this is a very rudimentary example:
First, create a View in Django that you can call, and capture the results:
import os
> from django.http import HttpResponse
> ...
> def ajax(req):
> if req.is_ajax():
> stdout = os.popen("script_you_want_to_run.py")
> output = stdout.read()
> return HttpResponse(output)
Make sure you can call it by adding it in your urls.py (be sure that it's
defined *above* any other line that may redirect you somewhere else):
urlpatterns = patterns('',
> url(r'^ajax', 'your_project.your_app.views.ajax'),
...
)
Then call it from whatever template you're wanting to use (I'm going to use
Dojo for this example, just because it's my favorite JavaScript library):
var resultDisplay = dojo.byId("results"); // whatever element you want to
> display your results
> dojo.xhrGet({
> url: '/ajax', // this accesses the view you created earlier
> load: function(data) {
> resultDisplay.innerHTML = data; // 'data' should be the output
> that you returned from the view
> }
> });
Again, this is very basic, but this should get you started. Use some test
scenarios to try it out just so you get the idea (such as dropping in a
Python script that does nothing but output "Hello").
I hope this helped.
