There are several python libraries that support AES in the standard operating modes. If you are doing something sensible on the PHP side, you should be able to get Python to interoperate with it. Be careful that you are doing the right things algorithmically in terms of modes, IV's, etc. If you don't know what you're doing in this area, it's best to (at minimum) seek more specific advice. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
