How can node.js call python code?

Question

I will need to run some python scripts from my node.js code on an Amazon EC2 VPS.

Is this possible with node.js?

Is your question about AWS Node integration or the order to run external programs? — Ito

there are AWS EC2 instances running node. if you use elastic beanstalk to deploy on that instance you would be able to run any script. check docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/… and docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/… for more detail — Kamrul

For node and Python on the same computer, there are two solutions:

(1) node can call most Python scripts using the nodeJS child process API

(2) node code can talk to Python code via sockets (either at localhost 127.0.0.1 or Unix-based) if the Python code supports sockets
