wraphper

Python wrappers for PHP functions, when you just can't shake it.

Why?

If you're coming from PHP, you'll take a bit of time getting used to the new names or methods in Python. You could look up something like "python str_replace" everytime you want to do so, or you could just save time and use php.str_replace('Hello', 'Goodbye', 'Hello, world!').

Why not?

Installation

Pip it.

$ pip install wraphper

Usage

Import the module and then fulfil your PHP fantasies in Python:

import wraphper as php

a = [1, 2, 3]
php.count(a)
# outputs: 3

Supported functions

This module is a work in progress. Not all functions are supported yet. The current list includes:

• count
• str_replace

PRs with more functions are welcome!

Performance and Security

wraphper doesn't internally call PHP to run these functions, it simply provides you a PHP-like function name that runs the Python equivalent. As such, performance is unaffected because only Python is running.

Similarly, there are no implications of this on security.

Contributing

Follow these rules with contributed functions:

• The function must be an native PHP function, not from a third-party library.
• The name of the function must match the original exactly. Otherwise, the purpose of this module is defeated.
• The function should take the exact same number of arguments as the original.
• The argument types must match the PHP types as closely as possible, so string is str, int is int, array is list or dict, etc.
• The function must throw an appropriate exception with the exact same error message from the PHP function.
• The function should avoid any pre- or post-processing of the argument or return value. The goal is not to match PHP functions' inputs and outputs, but to provide a PHP-familiar syntax for Python developers.

Testing

Tests can be run by the following command:

$ python tests.py

Compatibility

wraphper has been checked with Python 2.7 and 3.6, but there's no reason why it shouldn't work with older versions.
