Run Python script in Action?
I want to run a Python script (takes an input and returns an output, involves network calls) when users click on a button. Can I do it with Actions? If not, what are some workarounds?

Welcome! There are steps for working directly with Convex in Python: https://docs.convex.dev/client/python
If you have a python server somewhere and you want to interact with it from your Convex functions, yes actions are the way to go, you can send http requests with fetch.
