Using PHP in Python

[Tgone]

Hello,

I've come across sites that discuss embedding Python in PHP, but is it
possible to access PHP functions in Python?

I have some custom PHP functions that I didn't want to re-write in
Python. But maybe I should just rewrite them :)

Decimals

[Tgone]

Hello,

I have a price column in a MySQL table: price decimal(5,2)

When I access them in Python with SQLObject, prices display as 15.0
instead of 15.00. Why is this happening? I can't figure out why Python
is trimming off the hundredth place. I'm not doing any formatting...

Thanks,
Tony

Sorry, when I print out the variable it displays as '15.0'. The price
is '15.00' in the database though.

Here's my code:

product = Product.get(2)
print product.price # 15.0 

I'm using MySQLdb if that helps.

Yes, they're both mathematically the same. I never said they weren't...

That works. I expected Python to display the data exactly as it is in
the database, like most languages.
