Executing python in js - troublshooting/development

[sdetweil]

@beejay22 I don’t understand why u have trouble.

the 3 files I posted work together as u designed.

does your spawn(‘/use/bin/python’, [execname]) work to return the data.
console log to see

spawn and exec have different methods of returning the data. see the doc

Google search nodejs process spawn

[beejay22]

Did you try it with the pyscript? Or are you talking about it the core module, node_helper and config?

And okay

[sdetweil]

@beejay22 I am only working on inside MagicMirror

the spawn on.data() gets called when the pgm launched outputs to stdout. my print hello

of course I made sure the python script worked both ways, before showing that

[beejay22]

Okay. And yes it does return the data as output I believe

[sdetweil]

@beejay22 do you see this output from the node_helper in the terminal window where you do npm start?

console.log(data.toString())

from your python script
