Example on Making rest call to Python server using angular js client

Question

Can anybody give an example on using rest in getting and posting data from/to python server using Angularjs . Please provide an example for both client(angularjs) and server(python) .. where my sample client-side code is

var student_id = 12
$http({
    method:"POST" // or get
    url:       //url to the python file 
    data:     //this is what confusing me .. how to send that student id 

}).success(function(data){
     console.log(data);
   })

and in python i want to run a function which prints student id

def print_info(id):   ## here id is the student id that shall be recieved
  print "student id is %s" %id

here i want the js client to send that student_id value to python server where it should receive it and send that value of print_info function to the client.. Thanks in advance..

You can use it like this:

$http.post('<your_url>', data).success(function(data) {
    //handle the data returned
}, function(error) {
    //handle if an error is thrown
})

And the format of your data can be a json like this:

data = {
    "student_id": value
}
