I have this simple test AJAX request that sends data to a python script. 

$.ajax({
              url: 'parser.py',
              type: 'POST',
              data: {test:"test"},
              dataType: "text",
              success: function(result)
              {
                console.log(result)
              },
              error: function(request, status, error)
              {
                console.log("oops")
              }
            })

I know it's quite simple, but how do I access the posted content that I send to the python script? Is it sent in a query string like PHP?

  • It depends on how your python script is executed. Usually people use WSGI-based frameworks in python which then provide GET and POST values in a framework-specific way. Commented Apr 19, 2012 at 17:04

  • I have gotten the results I wanted when using a test GET request to the python script, opening the URL to the API with urllib2, reading the XML and then parsing it. I wasn't completely aware I needed something additional for POST requests. Commented Apr 19, 2012 at 17:08
