You can't call python module from lua. 

This can not be true.  Python has a C API and so does Lua.  It must be possible to call Python from Lua somehow.

It's even better: using https://labix.org/lunatic-python - which is a two-way bridge between Lua and Python - you can call Python functions from Lua and the other way round. You should be able to simply call python.import(module_name) from Lua and use the module directly.
