CakePHP + Python's scipy/numpy/matolab/etc?

[joshs.silverman]

Hello,

I've got a question about mixing languages in a project:

I am using Cake on an App and it is going quite well. However, I now
need to do some statistical analysis/curve fitting/advanced plotting/
matrix manipulation/object difference calc/etc. In retrospect, I
should have done this project in a python framework from the
beginning, but I like Cake so I stuck with it. Now I am looking to get
the functionality of scipy/numpy/matolab/etc APIs/modules. At this
point, how best should I integrate these? Would it be easiest to make
a bare bones API that returns the data/NLR formulas in perhaps a json
or xml format?  I was thinking of using a python framework such as
Django so as to be able to use its serializer and other tools. Any
suggestions? Has anyone had to integrate code libraries from other
languages in this way before?

Please let me know if I'm wrong about PHP and if I've over looked
libraries with functionality and stability that rival the python
libraries I mentioned.

Thanks

PHP and Python code cannot be "integrated". You can call your Python
code through exec() and exchange data by text/xml/whatever files. Or
just send initial data as param and output result.

It's not the simplest thing, but it's doable.
