Hi all, I'm currently working on a project to develop an online simulation model of the juvenile justice system in Queensland. We've developed the simulation model using the python module simPy and currently we're trying to link the simulation model to a web interface. Unfortunately, the web interface and its interactions with the database have been separately developed in PHP and ASP. Rather than rebuilding the web interface using python, we're looking for an easy way to call a python script from within PHP. In particular, we'd like to have the script called but, as running the model can take some time, we'd prefer if the browser didn't have to sit and wait while the script was running (instead, we intend to notify the user via email when their model has completed). So all we really want to do is start the script off and running (it's a simple call to a python method).
If you're particularly interested in helping me out and if I've not been entirely clear, you can go to: http://210.49.85.147:8000/justicemodel/login.php and log in using the user name: temp and the password: pass, select a model and go to the workspace - the button 'run model' is what we want to trigger the python script, while all the rest of the website (setting up the model scenarios, viewing output etc etc) has been developed in php and asp. Any assistance anyone can offer me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot, Michael -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
