Node Python Runner Web

Supported by:

A web server that executes python code by request. Just POST your python code against the Server and get the stdout of its execution.

Also, you can use this as a library to initialize the server when you feel to.

Useful to bridge different languages.

Be careful not to use this on production because all the python code will be executed.

## Library Usage

npm install python-runner-web

var PythonWeb = require("python-runner-web");

/// initialize the server
var server = new PythonWeb.Server({ 
	
	/// listen to port
	port: 8585,

	/// the python binary to use
	pythonBin: "python",

	/// the python env variables
	pythonEnv: {
		PYTHONPATH: "..."
	}

});

/// start the server
server.start();

## Binary Usage

sudo npm install python-runner-web -g

> python-runner-web -h
