Connection error between esri and Python

I am trying a Python file to Javascript and I am using Esri library. I wrote the following code but it keeps giving me error. 

var myObj //defined as a string which is passed to 
require(["esri/request"], function(esriRequest){
  var dd=esriRequest{
   content: {myObj},
   handleAs: "json",
   url: "www.example.com/pythonFile.py"
 }
}

I would appreciate any help

Solution

  • I think you might miss passing the token in the content of esriRequest variable if example.com needs authentication. In that case, the correct answer would be: 

    token = "" //a string which gives you the permission to visit example.com you can take it after giving credentials to the mapserver or website
var myObj //defined as a string which is passed to 
require(["esri/request"], function(esriRequest){
  var dd=esriRequest{
   content: {"SP": myObj, token: token},
   handleAs: "json",
   url: "www.example.com/pythonFile.py"
 }
}
