You can’t pass a variable directly, as JavaScript is running on the client (browser), and Python is running on the server.
You could make a XHR (AJAX) request from JavaScript to the server which would then return your values back to JS (JSON could be used here).
Or you could put a hidden field to your markup that would have the value in it’s “value” attribute. You could then read that with JavaScript.
ps: your question really isn’t related to pyfacebook but Python (or any other server side technology) in general and that has been covered here many many times.
