    Asking for the "best" way to do something is generally either too broad or primarily opinion-based. Consider asking for another way to do it from the way you're using, and state what you think is wrong, inefficient, or inadequate with the way you're currently doing it.

    If you are concerned with the overhead of having to create a new process every time you call emacsclient, maybe creating a simple TCP socket in on Emacs side which will simply evaluate the code you send it will be more efficient. Commented Feb 24, 2018 at 8:41
  • Please explain if your question is about Emacs per se, or about Python. If there's a running Emacs instance, it's not clear that there's much to say about how to access it that isn't about the calling program, which is Python-based in this case. Commented Feb 24, 2018 at 16:46
