How to run a python script by passing it a calendar value in Flask?

Question

Flask

Good day.
It is necessary that the user on the main page indicates the date in the calendar and clicks the submit button. After that, the script (test.py) was launched on the server, which accepted the date as str (for example) and executed. The problem is that I couldn't find how to execute the script with the passed parameter in Flask itself.
Please share the link, or suggest how to implement it :)

Um, I don't quite understand what "execute a script" means.
Perhaps you mean "call a function"?
Then form.birth_date.data must be passed to the function.
For example:

class EditUser(FlaskForm):
    birth_date = DateField('Birthday Date', description='YYYY-MM-DD', format='%Y-%m-%d')
    submit = SubmitField('Edit User')

def myfunc(birthday):
    print(birthday)

@app.route('/edit', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def edit_account():
    form = EditUser()
    if form.validate_on_submit():
        myfunc(str(form.birth_date.data))

Where exactly myfunc() lives does not matter, it can be imported within the project
