Having recently found out about the js object, having to learn Javascript is something I'd like to avoid if possible.

I'm quite fond of Python and would like to know if it's possible to invoke Python from a javascript callback, called by Max/Msp.

I would just write my custom code in Python, then return to the javascript that called it.

although learning js and/or lua for all your max needs is the best option - does not take long.

best way is probably:

Another alternative is to use Thomas Grill's py external. It is an external that supports python 2.7.

There's too much about Max to learn, I don't want to waste any timer leaning any J-languages.

There is not much documentation on the py external , but here is the help file I created. If you can not

find the scripts for it on Thomas's website, let me know and I can post those too.

, a c-based Max external which can only be accessed via the javascscript

    pyjs.exec("from random import random");

The above example imports the random function from the random module, calls its and gets the result and then sends it out of the default outlet.

There's also pyjs, one of the subprojects of the py-js project. 

pyjs is  a general purpose python3 jsextension, a c-based Max external which can only be accessed via the javascscript js interface:

var pyjs = new PyJS();

function test_exec_eval()
{
	pyjs.exec("from random import random");
	var res = pyjs.eval("random()");
	if (res)
		outlet(0, res);
}
