#2294 — call php function from python

I have a python script that automatically loads wordpress, up to the
point that it asks for the admin password.
that is a php function call

function wp_install( $blog_title, $user_name, $user_email, $public,
$deprecated = '', $user_password = '' )

Is there a way to call this function from python?

What do you mean with "loads" wordpress? I think the easiest thing to
do, and what I've done in the past, is to call Wordpress via its web
interface. I.e. instead of trying to find out how to call wp_install,
use the post method with the right data and the right URL.

Are you running this script on the web server, or are you invoking this
over a socket using something like urllib?

If you are running remotely, then PHP does not exist.  All you have are
HTTP requests.  You need to make yourself look exactly like a human being
at a browser.  Fortunately, that's not too hard.
