OT Aside: Anyone ever used PSP pages? Seems like a good substitute for PHPish tasks, but I've not seen many users.
As to the actual question, PHP can call python through a variety of means. One such one I'm familiar with is XMLRPC. PHP: http://phpxmlrpc.sourceforge.net/ Python: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/ws-pyth10.html (servers at the bottom). XMLRPC can be slooooooooooooow. Make sure its fast enough for what you're doing by running a benchmark. But if it is fast enough, the python libraries at least are quite magically simple as far as cross language programming can be. --Michael On Feb 4, 2008 10:43 AM, Chris Fuller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Sunday 03 February 2008 17:35, GTXY20 wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > First off let me say how helpful and informative this mailing list is.
