A simple yet dangerous and rather rubbish solution (possibly more of a
hack than a real implementation) could be achieved by using a
technique described above:

<?php
        echo exec('python foo.py');
?>

I would look into pyphp though. This method has so many issues
attached to it it's hardly worth bothering with.
I'm with Nick when I say why on earth are you needing to call Python
from within PHP as opposed to using only Python or only PHP?
