PHP execution of Python "scripts"
This will work for scripts, which do stuff and return the output, not for CherryPy.
<?php
// execute your Python script from PHP
$command = escapeshellcmd('myPythonScript.py');
$output = shell_exec($command);
echo $output;
// take response content to embed it into the page
?>
PHP to access a Python/CherryPy served website
import cherrypy
class HelloWorld(object):
def index(self):
return "Hello World!"
index.exposed = True
cherrypy.quickstart(HelloWorld())
This starts a http://localhost:8080
and you should see Hello world!
.
Now you could access CherryPy's output by accessing it at it's localhost:port
.
Not good performance-wise, but works.
<?php
$output = file_get_contents('http://localhost:8080/');
echo $output;
?>
Joomla + Ajax to access a Pyhton/CherryPy served website
An alternative solution would be, to not use PHP to fetch the content, but to do the fetch from client-side. Basically, you would use an Ajax-Request to the CherryPy served website, to fetch it's content and embed it into the dom of the Joomla served page.
// add jQuery Ajax reqeust from your Joomla page to CherryPy
$.ajax({
url: "https://localhost:8080/", // <-- access the 2nd served website
type: 'GET',
success: function(res) {
//console.log(res);
alert(res);
$("#someElement").html(res);
}
});
