Python and JavaScript basic communication

Question

I have a local HTML page: leaflet.html, which is displayed in an embedded browser inside a python-tkinter application.

Inside leaflet.html there is a simple JavaScript piece of code that contains a function:

addMarkerIn(longitude, latitude)
{
}

It is not important what this function does, what I need is to call addMarkerIn from python when a specific event occurs. Is it possible to avoid building a full http server environment and communicate through other methods such as named pipes?

You can add socket connection between js on html page and python backend. Using some library (like socket.io) it seems to be the simplest way.

Maybe this answer I wrote once helps you out?

You could make a function in python called addMarkerIn and call it with subprocess
