Assuming you've already done the desktop application part (that's 
google'able), you're just interested in Python web-service 
utilization.  You omit details of your PHP interface, whether 
it's REST or SOAP.  If it's a RESTful interface, you can just use 
the batteries-included urllib/urllib2[1] to request the page you 
want, and then use the resulting data.  If it's a SOAP interface, 
you can use the methods described at [2] to interact with it.
