Passing file path from JS to python

In addition to what @brian_p_dts mentioned, I would like to ask a followup question, how are you connecting InDesign and Python? If you share what you are currently doing we could find a cleaner way perhaps. For one I could think that Python could access InDesign API via COM(Python should have a library for doing so), if so then you could take much of your code totally in Python and JS vanishes from the equation or you could use a mix of Python COM interface with app.doScript. If MAC comes into picture something similiar could be worked out there too with Applescript and Python. However, as said if you share what you have done/achieved till now then we can brainstorm on the options, else what Brain has said is the simplest and surest way to make it work

There's probably a better way but I'd probably just save the string to a tmp file and read that tmp file in the Python.
