I did find some help from answers above for my scenario. For me the python file was not getting called as i was working on some old version server and i had created virtual environment (with all the required libraries) in which i was working. So i called it like this :
$command="/home/userName/venv/bin/python /var/www/html/foldername1/foldername2/test.py"." ".$arg1." ".$arg2." ".$arg2; \\pass argument if needed in arg1 etc.chdir("/var/www/html/folder1/folder2/"); //Changed the directory to where my files were$output=shell_exec($command); //Execute the command in this directorychdir("to the original working directory");Hope this helps someone.
P.S.: As we have authorised access to Internet in our lab, so while running these files(python scripts) individually on the server, they were getting stuck in between downloading any modules or giving SSL error etc, so just by giving internet access to the server, it worked. And then i called it from PHP. Thanks
