I have been trying to communicate between Node JS and Python following this tutorial: http://www.sohamkamani.com/blog/2015/08/21/python-nodejs-comm/

The python file reads a javascript array and prints the sum using the numpy module. Here is the code for both the python and node js file.

Python code:

    import sys, json, numpy as np

    #Read data from stdin
    def read_in():
      lines = sys.stdin.readlines()
      return json.loads(lines[0])

    def main():
      #get our data as an array from read_in()
      lines = read_in()

      #create a numpy array
      np_lines = np.array(lines)

      #use numpys sum method to find sum of all elements in the array
      lines_sum = np.sum(np_lines)

      #return the sum to the output stream
      print lines_sum

    #start process
    if __name__ == '__main__':
         main()

Node js code:

    var spawn = require('child_process').spawn,
      py =spawn('python', ['compute_input.py']),
      data = [1,2,3,4,5,6], 
      dataString='';

    py.stdout.on('data', function(data) {
      dataString += data.toString();
    });

    py.stdout.on('end', function() {
      console.log('Sum = ', dataString);
    });

    py.stdin.write(JSON.stringify(data));
    py.stdin.end();

Error message:

    Error: write EPIPE
      at exports._errnoException (util.js:1018:11)
      at Socket._writeGeneric (net.js:711:26)

The Python script is throwing an error. The python command invoked python3 instead of python 2.7, for which the script was written and the script errored out. EPIPE error is thrown because the python script ended prematurely and node tries to read-from/write-to to an already closed pipe.
