Thanks for answering!

Just using jQuery.post instead of ajax apparently worked. I have no idea why hahaha. Would you happen to know what difference it makes?

Small update. I’va managed to add this to a snippet:

function testphprun(){
  if( isset($_GET['testphprun']) ) {
    set_time_limit(0);
    $user_id = get_current_user_id(); 
  	$user_info = get_userdata($user_id);
  	$mailadress = $user_info->user_email;
	$path = file_get_contents('./wp-content/emails/'.$mailadress.'.txt'); 
	$result = "";
	exec('py ./wp-content/script.py '.$mailadress.' '.basename($path).'', $result, $return_var);
	foreach ($result as $line) {
       echo $line;
  	}
  } 
}	

add_action('init', 'testphprun');

So now, whenever I click this button:

<form method="post" action="http://localhost/wordpress/pdfPython/?testphprun">
    <input type="submit" value="RunScript">
</form>

I get redirected to /localhost/wordpress/pdfPython/?testphprun and the php script runs. I’m sure it’s not the best solution, but it works.

Now I’d like to modify the snippet so that when the page loads, a certain file is downloaded. I tried adding the appropiate headers and a “readfile()” call to this same snippet (after the current code, of course) but that apparently prevents the script from running. It just downloads the file.

Small Update.

I managed to get the user’s email using wordpress functions, so that’s done.
