php and python: how to unpickle using PHP?

[Ted Zeng]

Hi,

I store some test results into a database after I use python
To pickle them (say, misfiles=['file1','file2'])

Now I want to display the result on a web page which uses PHP.
How could the web page unpickle the results and display them?
Is there a PHP routine that can do unpickle ?

Pickle is Python specific.
You may be able to write something that can unpickle
the basic datatypes but I wouldn't bother with it.

Try to find a language neutral marshaling format
(yaml? xml? whatever) and access that from both Python and PHP...

Instead of pickling, maybe you can save the data from python in json
format:
http://www.json.org/
Then you can read it from PHP.

yaml should be well-suited due to its nature as serialization format, akin
to pickle.

wddx format is a workable solution as well
