I'm trying to post some data with an ajax post request and execute a python file, retrieving the data in the python file, and return a result.
I have the following ajax code
$(function () {
$("#upload").on("click", function (e) {
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
url: "test1.py",
data: {'param1':'abc'},
async: false,
success: function (response) {
console.log(response);
}
}).done(function (data) {
console.log(data);
});
});
});
And the following python file
#! /usr/bin/python
from __future__ import print_function
import cgi, cgitb
def index():
data = cgi.FieldStorage()
mydata = data['param1'].value
return return "test"
I'm getting a keyerror on param1 -> "KeyError: 'param1'". I've also tried to use getValue(data['param1']. It looks like a problem with transferring the data from the ajax call to the python file i want to execute... But i can't figure out why.
Thanks in advance
