Calling Php Variables to use it in Python Script

So I'm trying to figure out if i can get the variables that i make in Php file and use it in my Python file.

I've read that you can use this.

Php file:

$data='12';
$output=shell_exec("python pythonfile.py $data");
echo $output;

Python file:

import sys
print sys.argv[1]

And if i run the Php it will display 12

But what i want is to run it in Python, it's like I'll call $data in python and manipulate it like make it float number. Is this possible?

A common and easy way to share data accross multiple process using different languages is to use sharable system resources. By exemple you could serialize data in a file and read the file from the other process. You can also use networks via sockets but it is more complicated.

You should call your PHP script from your Python script, you can use subprocess module, and many other ways

import subprocess

subprocess.call("php /path/to/your/script.php")

Here have good example, and many others have in Google.
