PHP2Shell is out. Disclosed on 21 October 2026 and scored 9.2 out of 10, it can let attackers run their own code on a PHP server without signing in, and every PHP version before 8.2 is left without a fix. Don't worry: we can move your app from PHP to Python in 7 days. Read the latest on PHP2Shell.
Our PHP to Python migration services in USA and UK companies use make sense when your business is pulling in two directions: a PHP website on one side and Python scripts for reports, data cleaning or machine learning on the other. Putting the web app in Python too means one language, one set of developers, and models or analytics that plug straight into the product.
Python reads almost like plain English, which keeps code easy to review years later. Its libraries for data and AI, such as pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn and the official SDKs of most AI providers, are the deepest of any language. For the web layer we choose between Django, FastAPI and Flask based on what your app does, and use SQLAlchemy or the Django ORM on your current database.
Techno Mantraa has more than a decade of web development experience and builds in both PHP and Python. Our India-based team works on hours that suit the United States and the United Kingdom, at a fixed price agreed before the work starts.
Good reasons to rewrite PHP in Python
Python is not automatically faster or safer than modern PHP. The case for it is about what sits around your web app: data, automation and AI.
Data and AI in the same codebase
Recommendations, forecasts, document parsing and chat features can call pandas, scikit-learn or an LLM SDK directly, with no bridge between a PHP site and a Python service.
Easy to read, easy to hand over
Python's clean syntax and strict indentation make old code readable, which lowers the cost of every future change.
One team for web and scripts
The people who write your reporting and automation scripts can also maintain the website, so you hire fewer specialists.
What our Python migration includes
- A framework choice for your app: Django, FastAPI or Flask
- All pages, forms and business rules rewritten in Python
- Your existing database kept, with Django ORM or SQLAlchemy models
- Schema changes tracked with Django migrations or Alembic
- User logins carried over, including existing password hashes
- Background jobs and cron tasks moved to Celery or RQ workers
- Reporting and data scripts merged into the main codebase
- Deployment with Gunicorn or Uvicorn behind Nginx, or in Docker
Your PHP to Python plan, day by day
Day 1: Choose the Python stack
We read your PHP code, decide between Django, FastAPI and Flask with you, and agree a fixed price and scope.
Days 2-4: Rewrite in Python
We connect Python models to your database and rebuild pages, forms and APIs one area at a time.
Days 5-6: Compare results
Automated tests with pytest and manual checks confirm that the Python app gives the same answers as the PHP one.
Day 7: Go live
We deploy the Python app, switch your domain, keep PHP on standby and watch the logs after launch.
PHP vs Python for a business web app
Both are mature, popular languages. The difference is in what each one is strongest at.
| PHP | Python | |
|---|---|---|
| Main strength | Websites and CMS platforms | Web apps plus data, automation and AI |
| Web frameworks | Laravel, Symfony | Django, FastAPI, Flask |
| Data science libraries | Few and limited | pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, PyTorch |
| Package manager | Composer | pip, with uv or Poetry |
| Readability | Varies a lot with code style | Enforced by indentation and PEP 8 style |
| Hosting | Cheap shared hosting | VPS, containers or cloud platforms |
Why use us for a PHP to Python rewrite
We do not pick a Python framework by habit. We match it to your app, then write the code so a Python developer you hire later can pick it up easily.
Straight advice on fit
If your site is a content site on WordPress or another PHP CMS, moving to Python rarely pays off, and we will suggest a PHP upgrade instead.

Python migration for companies in the USA and UK
This service suits small and mid-sized businesses in the United States and United Kingdom that want their web app and their data work in Python. We are online through the US Eastern morning and the UK working afternoon, and we reply on the same day.
Offshore Python developers in India cost far less than a local team, and you still get a single contact, an NDA, a fixed price and a dated plan.

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about our PHP to Python Migration service.
Most small and medium PHP apps can be rewritten in Python in 7 days, with audit, rebuild, testing and launch included. Very large apps are split into phases, and the first phase goes live within the same 7 days.
Django if you want a full website with an admin panel out of the box, FastAPI if you mainly need a fast JSON API, and Flask for small apps and internal tools. We advise during the audit.
For most business apps the database and network decide speed, not the language. Both PHP 8.4 and current Python serve normal web traffic well. Heavy data work is often faster in Python thanks to libraries written in C.
Yes. PHP password_hash() produces bcrypt hashes, and Python can verify those with the bcrypt package or a custom Django hasher, so users sign in as before.
Yes, once the PHP server is retired, because PHP2Shell is a flaw in the PHP engine. The Python app does not run on PHP, and we keep Python itself on a supported version.
Yes. We serve businesses across the United States and United Kingdom with overlapping hours, same-day replies, an NDA and one fixed price.
Is your PHP app still on an old version?
