Python PHP

Have you ever wished that the Python standard library had the power and flexibility of PHP? Now it is as simple as import php

Installation

Python PHP can be installed using pip

$ pip install -e [email protected]:joshmaker/python-php.git#egg=python-php

Usage

To access PHP functions in Python, simply import the php module and get started.

import php

php.str_replace('Python', 'PHP', 'Hello World of Python')
# Output: u'Hello World of PHP'

Python PHP supports the following types: int, string, list, and dictionaries

Testing

Of course Python-PHP has unit tests! How else would we know that it is safe to use? Run tests with $ python tests.py To test with python 2.6+ and 3.3+ type $ tox

Compatibility

Python-PHP is compatible with all relevant Python versions: 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5

Is this really a good idea?

What could possibly go wrong? OK, probably a lot of things. First release on April Fools Day 2016, this project was designed as a tongue-in-cheek coding exercise intended more for mirth than productivity. Using this in production is probably a very bad idea.
