i am trying to write a simple extension in chrome which sends data to a TCP socket server in python.

Unfortunately, extensions cannot use sockets library in chrome. is there any simple way to communicate with a TCP socket server in python?

Alternatively, is there any way to communicate with python at all?

  • [Native Messaging](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/nativeMessaging) may help you with communicating with the python script you'll create. Its basically a way for native application to communicate with the Chrome extension. You can read more of it in [this chromium blog](http://blog.chromium.org/2013/10/connecting-chrome-apps-and-extensions.html) – adjuremods Mar 02 '16 at 14:06

I think Native Messaging is what you want.

You can find a example code snippet in the Example section of this page. It uses native messaging to communicate with a Python script.
