ajax请求python脚本

i just tested out a script i made. it is in python. i use ajax, to send a request and try and get the result.

function ajaxFunction(){
    var ajaxRequest;
    var e = document.getElementById("ktype");
    var ktype = e.options[e.selectedIndex].value;
    var acookie = document.getElementById("acookie").value;
alert (ktype +"
" + acookie);
    try{
        ajaxRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
    } catch (e){
        try{
            ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
        } catch (e) {
            try{
                ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
            } catch (e){
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
    ajaxRequest.onreadystatechange = function(){
        if (ajaxRequest.readyState < 4){
            document.getElementById("resp").innerHTML = "<center><img src='loading.gif' style='max-width:60px; max-height:60px;'></center>";
        }
        if(ajaxRequest.readyState == 4){
            document.getElementById("resp").innerHTML = ajaxRequest.responseText;
        }
    }
ajaxRequest.open("POST", "kindle.py", true);
ajaxRequest.setRequestHeader("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
ajaxRequest.send("amzcookie=" + acookie + "&ktype=" + ktype);
}

the python script uses CGI. no web framework like django.

when i do this request it just prints the contents of the python file. no code is executed.

You should use JQuery for that ... instead of writing your own Ajax request, it can be written in a line:

$.post('link-to-my-python-script',{data},
          function(answer){
                      // process your request here ..
                  });

You can read more about that here: JqueryPost
