      Hi, I am trying to test something and am wondering the best way to do it (unrelated to node/mirror). I have an HTML page with a button and a JavaScript file which parses a local JSON file and presents results on screen. I also have a Python script which I run prior which creates the local JSON file. Is there a way for me to click this button in my HTML, run the Python script which creates the file then run my JavaScript file which shows the output?

      Thank you

        You could do it the other way round. Your MagicMirror javascript module could run the python script and wait for its output/result.

          @yawns Ahhh perfect - I am going to try that, that should definitely work when implementing on the mirror. But for now I am actually just trying to test this very primitive code to see if it is possible the other way around. I have seen an ajax call needed but am not 100% sure as to where I’d put that in the code or how it would be configured to just run a local python file which outputs nothing but another file.
