Passing a Python list to php -

I am very new to php and I am quite understandably how Python does PHP contrast Now I know how to pass a variable, but I am still trapped and can not find any answer on this:

Php calls a Python script (that part works) Which gives a list of strings. I want to process this list in php.

When I try:

  print mylist   
 in myscript.py, then:  < Pre>  $ result = exec ('python myscript.py')   
 It seems that php considers $ a string as a result (which I think Understandable).  
 I understand that maybe Jason may or may help me to use a dictionary instead of a list in Python, though I do not know how to fix it.  
 If someone can help, it will be appreciated! Thanks!   
 
 
 For example:  
  myscript.py   
  Import json D = {'foo': 1, 'baz': 2} print json.dumps (D)   
  myscript Php   
  & lt ;? Php $ result = json_decode (exec ('python myscript.py', is true); The result of the result ['foo'];
