How to pass a jquery variable to a Python script?

I have an html form, with a jquery script to make it dynamic.

I use Apache2 under debian wheezy for the server,

MongoDB for database,

Pymongo as driver,

At the end, when the form is completed, all the fields are stored in a variable in my .js file, with a json format as follow :

var payload = {"field1":"Richard","field2":"Berroy"} 

When you click on the submit button, I use an ajax post function :

$("#submitbtn").click( function() { var payload = {"field1":"Richard","field2":"Berroy"} $.post('python/mongo_brief_write.py', {bn: payload}); 

The goal of mongo_brief_write.py is to insert the content of the payload var into a collection of my MongoDB database, using pymongo driver.

here is my code for this python script :

import pymongo import json import requests from pymongo import Connection //test = {"field1":"Richard","field2":"Berroy"} chain = request.POST[bn] con = Connection("mongodb://192.xxx.xx.xxx/") db = con.central collection = db.brief post_id = collection.insert(chain) 

If I choose my test var it works fine, but I always have an issue if I comment test and use that request line, I don't now how to get that json object from my jquery form, to store it in the database ?

Thank you
