I am trying to send data from python to Javascript using EEL and their documentation and it does not seem to work... I keep getting null in my html / js page.

Here is what I have. Basically I want to get the link of the BING wallpaper and use it in my page as a background. But until then, I want to first get the result.

BING py script:

import bs4

import requests

import json





def scrape_bing():

   BASE_PATH = 'http://www.bing.com'

   BASE_REST = '/HPImageArchive.aspx?format=js&idx=0&n=1&mkt=en-US'

   URL = BASE_PATH + BASE_REST



   r = requests.get(url=URL)



   if r.status_code == 200:

      data = r.json()

      wallpaper_path = BASE_PATH + data['images'][0]['url']

      print(wallpaper_path)

   else:

      raise ValueError([ERROR] non-200 response from Bing server for '{}'.format(URL))



   def main():

      scrape_bing()



   if __name__ == '__main__':

      main()

The script works and it returns my URL in the Python console.

My main.py which has EEL is as following:

import eel

from inc.bing import scrape_bing



eel.init('web')



myDef = scrape_bing()



@eel.expose

def bingR():

   return myDef



try:

   eel.start('index.html', mode='chrome', host='localhost', port=8274)



except (SystemExit, MemoryError, KeyboardInterrupt):

   pass



print ('Closed browser log...!')

I have used an async command just as in their examples, like so:

    <script type=text/javascript src=/eel.js></script>

    <script type=text/javascript>



    async function run() {

        let n = await eel.bingR()();

        console.log('Got this from Python: ' + n);

    }



    run();



    </script>

Please help me understand how all this works.
