I am trying to make a Javascript (Nodejs) app communicate with a Python app.
I got something working using a socket bound to my localhost and a specific port.
To make things simpler (e.g., when deploying to environments that may not allow me to listen on multiple ports), I wanted to change my implementation to use a socket bound to a file descriptor.
I searched high and low, but all examples I found use ports.
Basically I need the Python server counter part to this example from the Nodejs docs (the version specifying a path):
var client = net.connect({path: '/tmp/echo.sock'}.
Could someone please provide a simple example showing, creation and binding a file descriptor socket and processing data on it and/or point me in the right direction?
