For a quickstart it's probably easier to run the PHP code using the CGI
version of the PHP interpreter. E.g.
os.system('/usr/bin/php mms.php')
or using the subprocess module, if you want to pass some data to the script
(using stdin/out).

As long as no remote PHP server is involved this is easier and perhaps even
faster than the RPC approach...
