Run python from javascript

Question

I have implemented an accelerometer Reader in python and I want to execute a function in a javascript file when a new value is read that will:
1 - update the value in a database
2 - broadcast the new value to all connected client ( via Socket.io)

I was wondering how to do it? I checked PyV8 but it seems not maintained and only working with Python 2.7. My files structure looks like

--JScode
----MyJSCode
--PythonCode
----MyPythonCode

Sounds like an awful headache, but you may be able to get something working with pyqt — SuperStew

Can you use Node.js and call the node binary from Python? That's easier than evoking a script in a web browser binary — duhaime

You can send messages between processes using pipes. Just have your node server listen for a message and have your Python program send them. — user5734311

Yes, but from what I understood it's not possible to run a function located in another file with js2Py, all it does is just interpret function passed as strings — Observablerxjs

I managed to execute a python script from the javascript file using PythonShell (link to the npm page)
