Is there a way to call Python function from js?

What you're looking for is some kind of xmlhttprequest to getImportfields

Shriyanshagro/plone.importexport/blob/2f47b1bc7200359a780c2a30c5b8ea251ab006e4/src/plone/importexport/browser/importexport.py#L591


    except ImportExportError as e:
        print (e.message)
        raise
    except:
        print ('Fatal error in fetching headers')
        raise


    return matrix


# returns headers of imported csv file
def getImportfields(self, importfile=None):


    # import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
    global MUST_INCLUDED_ATTRIBUTES
    # TODO need to implement mechanism to get uploaded file
    # temp csv_file
    # csv_file = 'P2.csv'
    # csvData = open(csv_file,'r')


    now = DateTime()
    new_id = ''.format(randint(0, 9))

I'd create a new browserview that returns getImportfields (the example below could be added to your configure.zcml to create a view called "import-fields":

<browser:page
        for="Products.CMFCore.interfaces.IFolderish"
        name="import-fields"
        class=".importexport.getImportfields"
        permission="cmf.ModifyPortalContent"
        />

You don't need a template.

This view would be accessible via @@import-fields

This could then be called via an xmlhttprequest in your tal template.
