title: Can I add a Flask server to an existing Node web app?
body: <p>I've got a web app and some Python scripts I'd like to run on some inputted text. I looked around and it seems like Flask is the best solution for this, but wouldn't this mean I'd have two web servers?</p>
  
  <p>So would I be starting the Flask server when the user submits some text, running the Python script, then stopping the Flask server? How would I do this? The app is JS/jQuery. </p>
  
  <p>The other solution looks to be rewriting the Python into JavaScript which naturally I'm hesitant to do. </p>
