Python to JavaScript Persistant connection

I have a webapp all that is communicateing with a python script via a simple HTML form(I use the bottle microframework). The problem is, creating a new request for each piece of data creates a lot of overhead.

So the question is, how can I create a persistent connection bewtween my webapp and my python program? Is there any tools or library's you would suggest?

If you're sure that the connection overhead really is the part which is slowing you down, then you will have to get the Python script to run as a daemon, and you'll probably want to use it by opening a WebSocket which can hold onto your persistent connections. See for example:

A quick search on DuckDuckGo also turns up these examples. Good luck!
