I usually use shell_exec when I need to run python code. The benefit of shell_exec is returning the result as string, so I can use it for other purpose.
The below is the example to create graph by python, and display as a result in php.

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
plt.plot(["Seoul","Paris","Seattle"], [30,25,55])
plt.xlabel('City')
plt.ylabel('Response')
plt.title('Experiment Result')
plt.savefig('test.png')
print("<img src=test.png>") |

<?php
echo shell_exec("python matplot_test.py");
?> |
