Running python script in Django from submit

Question

Perhaps there is a different way of going about this problem, but I am fairly new to using Django.

I have written a custom python script and would like to run a function

Answer 1

In django 1.11 and python 3.6, I had to use

return subprocess.run(['python', 'path_to_script//prog17.py', post_from_form], shell=False, timeout=1800)

The rest of @kossta's code worked fine.
