I'm trying to run a python script from a local javascript file (part of a locally running HTML/javascript program).

I've been googling this for hours and found a lot of solutions, none of which actually work for me.

Here is the javascript:

$.ajax({



    type: POST,

    url: test.py,

    data: { param:  }

    }).done(function( o ) {

        alert(OK);

});

The test.py file is in the same folder as the script/html file.

here is the script:

#!/usr/bin/python

import os

filepath = os.getcwd()

def MakeFile(file_name):

    temp_path = filepath + file_name

    with open(file_name, 'w') as f:

    f.write('''

def print_success():

    print sucesss        

''')

    print 'Execution completed.'



MakeFile(bla.txt);

It works fine when run normally.

On my Firefox console I get a not well formed error and the script doesn't create a file. However, I can see that Firefox does fetch the script, as I can view it in my browser by clicking the file name.
