PHP exec python not working

Question

hey yall. Im running python on a web server from dreamhost. I use their python installation and use the lastfm module which can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/python-lastfm/

to make it import correctly i do it

import sys
sys.path.append("/home/myusername/build/Python-2.5/Lib/site-packages/")
import lastfm

since the lastfm module is installed there.

When I use putty for ssh on my server, I can just run python test.py and it works fine. But when I run it from php script with

exec("python test.py");

it supposedly does not work, and the script does not run. it works fine when i do

import lastfm

and after that they have other things after, but when I'm actually trying to do something with a module, for example:

import lastfm
api=lastfm.Api(api_key)

. script, python , . - , , PHP . , . , , - , ive 777, . idk, . .

Answer 4

For Windows user - Thanks to Karlisup, my PHP file could read python. I use BITNAMI WAMP in Amazon EC2, my python file (leadatos.py) and php file are in the htdocs folder.

My vocation was

<?php
  passthru('C:\\Python27\\python.exe leadatos.py');
 ?>

Run codeHide result

The last line of my Python file was print "message".

Hope these are words!
