Can someone connect the dots for me? Javascript to Python via JSON

[NorbNYC]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a way for javascript to interact with python (which runs a server side process). Essentially I want to send a command with a the web, and have python execute certain code. but I'm lost as how I should get python to view/process and send back commands.

I have an apache server up and python 2.7.

Thanks in advance!

you have to setup a cgi with python. im sure there are tons of example online.

you can then use forms or ajax to interact with the cgi's url.
