Call Python script from Node runtime

[piyushgupta]

I need to call a python script from Node.js runtime.

I have tried using "child-process" library in node to call the Python script which works locally but doesn't install the python libraries (like pandas, etc) in the node runtime in BTP.

I am also trying to host python as a micro service and call it from the node.js using AJAX calls but it's not working as well.

Any leads on a solution will be really appreciated.

Do you have any more details about your requirements: what kind of data has to be passed between nodes and python apps and back? What are other dependencies your python app requires?

This example shows you how you can use libs like flasks in Python and package it up in an MTA. https://blogs.sap.com/2021/04/20/deployment-of-python-web-server-to-cloud-foundry-using-mta/

You could use the same pattern to build out a microservice that encapsulates your Python functionality and then use the MTA to create the bind between Nodejs and Python module.
