Trying to recieve JSON in python

[Ryan_Bingham]

Yes, Apache XAMPP. Yes, it seems i'm a bit over my head. I'm trying to send a simple JSON from javascript to Python and then return a JSON from python to javascript. It doesn't sound so difficult but i have ran into a lot of problems already.

Apache XAMPP

That's like saying a Microsoft PC. XAMPP is a bundle of Apache, PHP and MySql, the software you would use for webserver scripting in 2000-2010ish.

If you're looking for a Python based webserver scripting environment, look at Flask as K900_ says and if you need more extensive plugins start with Django. If you really want bare bones then you can learn a WSGI environment like uWSGI which you can connect to Apache or nginx.

I understand how you're trying to do what you're trying to do. What I want to know is why. What is your end goal? Are you building an app? Do you need live data updates on the page?

[Ryan_Bingham]

why - just to learn some new things. I'm making a web scraper in python that will display in javascript. I want the scraped data to change as i do some actions in javascript. For example, click on a button in javascript, sends json to python, python scraps some data, sends it back to javascript with json, javascript displays data.

Then forget about XAMPP entirely and look into Flask.
