Child Process would be what you want. There's a full documentation in the link I've sent you, it's pretty straight forward.

What you might need to know as a minimum is this:

child_process = require('child_process');
var script = child_process.exec('python script.js',function(err,stdout, stderr) {
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log("Output: " + stdout);
});;
