[Python] How do I get Python Post variables? [duplicate]

I am a PHP develeoper and I am trying to learn Pyhton. I thought a good place to start would be trying to do some basic things that I take for granted in PHP but I have stumbled quite early on.

Using HTML as input I can send form values to PHP using JQUery. I can use the "$_POST" variable to retrieve those values in PHP.

My JQuery and PHP code is as follows:

function CallPHP (GHTok) {
$.post('myphpfile.php', { Var1:GHTok },
function(fud1)
{
jsVal1 = fud1.rtnVal1;
alert(jsVal1);
},"json");
}



<?php
$phpVar1=$_POST['Var1'];
echo json_encode(array("rtnVal1"=>$phpVar1.' - Success'));
?>


I can call a python script in the same way but I can't seem to retrieve the values that have been posted by JQuery.

Is there a way to do this in Python (v.3.13.3)?

Any help greatly appreciated.
