If the data you want to pass is structured then you might consider
XML-RPC which is a cross platform way of passing structured data
around.  XML-RPC is part of the python standard library
(SimpleXMLRPCServer and xmlrpclib) and there seem to be several
implementations for PHP

That might be overkill for what you want though!
