Ryan, I should clarify that what I'd like to do here is unrelated to the web. I'm actually just interested in using a local html page as a simple gui to launch python calls. So a JS event handler, say a button click, would then call a JS function which inside of it would call a Python function while handing it arguments (say a path that the JS queried from a field in the html page.) That kind of thing. It seems like it should be possible, and hopefully easy, but I have no experience in calling Python functions from other languages so I'm just looking for some input on that. Thanks,

-MH

Depends on your environment.

If your js is on a webpage, you can have it make http calls to a python web service. Look for articles on XMLHttpRequest in
javascript to see some examples.


I don't know how else that could be done, but I imagine there are other ways.

Thanks,
Ryan

I'm curious on whether or not JavaScript and Python can talk to each
other. Specifically, can a python function be called from within a JS
function? Admittedly this is probably more of a JavaScript than Python
question, but I'd  love to know if anyone can at least point me in a
direction to research this.
