      Dear all,

      I would like to develop a module which would display graphs created from webpage scraping. I’m totally able to code such a thing in Python, but I have no clue with Javascript (yet, but I’m willing to learn). So I wonder which solution would be the best to your opinion :
      i) a all javascript module
      ii) some javascript which would launch a Python script behind the hood (possible?)
      or something else?

      Please let me know any advise or comment which could help me on how and where to begin.

      Thanks in advance,

        Hey, i would recomend you to do all in javascript. I love python, but what you’ve planed is perfectly doable in javascript. See chart.js for example. As long as it’s possible to write a project in one language, i would never combine more languages.
