Just point the new src of your image at the your python script. Assuming your script returns an image.

<html>
<body>
    <img id="qrcode_container" src="assets/filler_image.png" width="35%">
    <p></p>
    <button onclick="document.getElementById('qrcode_container').src=
        '***PATH TO PYTHON SCRIPT HERE***'">Generate Code</button>
</body>

There can be a hacky solution where you can get Python and Javascript to communicate, but the best solution here, would be to implement a single endpoint and service requests in Python.

Yes, using Django or Flask would be an overkill, but using something like Falcon should suffice. Below is a sample Falcon program that would suffice.

# sample.py
import falcon
import json

class QRResource:
    def on_post(self, req, resp, text):
        # generate QR code at a destination
        output = {
            'path': 'path accessable by user',
            'uuid': "UUID HERE"
        }

        resp.body = json.dumps(quote)

api = falcon.API()
api.add_route('/qr', QRResource())
