start node app from python script

Question

Is it possible to start a node.js app from within a python script on a raspberry pi?

On the command line I run sudo node myscript.js

could I use

Answer 1

The first line of file shall be:

#!/usr/bin/python

You can call command with subprocess.call:

from subprocess import call

# Note that you have to specify path to script
call(["node", "path_to_script.js"]) 

Then you have to set +x permissions for file to be executable:

chmod +x filename.py

Know you are ready to go:

./filename.py
