Is there documentation regarding sending data between ts and python?

Anki Development

Recent changes in the DeckOptions uses bridge commands. I read in Improve presentation of importing results by abdnh · Pull Request #2568 · ankitects/anki · GitHub (linked to me by @brayanDso) that we should not use them anymore.
Except that new bridge commands were recently merged in anki in Fix 'Discard changes' dialog appearing even when no changes are made by hikaru-y · Pull Request #3495 · ankitects/anki · GitHub in the Deck Options.
I’d love correcting the deck options. It’s a very simple interface, with luck, if it’s done quickly, it would allow ankidroid to save time by directly using the correct implementation.
tried doing it in Testing removing bridge command · ankitects/anki@cd4a096 · GitHub , imitating other code, and utterly fail, I don’t know why.

Is there documentation anywhere about how to send post request from ts and receive them in python? I must admit that the following error message is not very clear.

More generally, I guess it’d be nice if we could have documentation explaining how all languages communicate with each other.

If you move the stuff in deck_options.proto to FrontendService in frontend.proto, it should compile. This file is treated specially so it doesn’t require writing Rust implementations.

I’m not sure why you’re getting that particular error. I’m getting this helpful error instead, which helped me find a fix:
