    Communication between Python and PHP

    Don't ask me why, but we have a bunch of legacy code in PHP on a
    server and a wee-bit of Python code for integrating GData google
    calendar services. We now need to build a way of sending messages
    between them. The general flow is:

    PHP Web Page(on apache) ---Python Gdata Consumer -----Gdata
    and then json is returned back like:
    PHP Web Page<----json data---- Pthon Gdata Consumer

    So I tried to convince my boss to let me use the python c extension to
    write a native bridge but 'no dice'. He also does not want anything
    'experimental' so pyphp is out. He'd like me to basically have them
    communicate by passing the json via http/apache - so in essence, I'll
    have to make (what I feel) are very expensive calls between two
    objects that, in a perfect world, would be on the same machine in the
    same language! I see this as a potential bottleneck. Any suggestions?
    I have to start prototyping this today so the sooner the better, um,
    please ;) Thanks gurus out there.

      Use sockets. They are efficient and both languages have good implementations .

                  I wouldn't even try to reinvent the wheel in such a case. You are
                  going to use GData and yet consider HTTP over LAN to be expensive. Get
                  real, man. Save yourself a time by not developing and supporting your
                  own very special wheel. Your boss is not that stupid as he probably
                  seems to you.
