Exchange data between Python and PHP

Question

Is it possible to exchange data between a PHP page and a Python application? How can I implement a PHP page that reacts to a Python application?

EDIT:

My application is divided in 2 parts: the web backend and a Python daemon. Via the web backend I upload MP3s to my server; these MP3s are processed by my Python daemon which fetch metadata from Musicbrainz.

Now:

I need to ask the user the results of the "Python fetch" to choose the right metadata. Is this possible?

I have a Python application which checks for some MP3 metadata on online databases and I need to output its result in response to the PHP page that uploads songs on my server. — peperunas

Write a Python script that takes a path in sys.argv or the audio data via sys.stdin and writes metadata to sys.stdout. Call it from PHP using exec.

It's how Unix has been working for 30 years. But now that you mentioned a daemon you'll want to connect via a socket instead of a pipe.
