[Python] PHP, Python - Python get input from php plugin

I am working on a wordpress website and I vould like to use Python on one part of the backend. There is a file path which I need to change quite often and I vould like to change that in PHP code instead on Python code. Meaning that I want to insert file path in PHP script which runs the python code instead of in Python code.

Here is my Python line of code:

path = ('my_path')


This is my php code:

<?php # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
/* Plugin Name: Python embedded */

add_shortcode( 'python', 'embed_python' );

function embed_python( $attributes )
{
$data = shortcode_atts(
[
'file' => 'hello.py'
],
$attributes
);

$handle = popen( __DIR__ . '/' . $data['file'], 'r' );
$read = '';

while ( ! feof( $handle ) )
{
$read .= fread( $handle, 2096 );
}

pclose( $handle );

return $read;
}


So Inside this php file I want to insert a line in which I can put a file path here insead of in Python code. But i do need this path in my Python script so I need some sort of connection between php and python script.
