There is Javascript code on the interface's HTML page which I reckon is making the webpage interactive and defining the behaviour of the page. Firstly, can I send Javascript commands from Python to switch the sockets using the web interface (if I have TCP/IP connection to the server opened from Python.) So, for that I would need to call a Javascript function in a Python shell. How to do that? Secondly, do I need comet in this case, because I need to push Javascript command to a particular IP and port from Python.

I have a device precisely a board of programmable electric sockets (four to be exact). The device's interface with pc is through tcp/ip port. The device has its web browser user interface based on default ip.
