 * hi all
 * when I run this php file:
 *     ```
       <?php
   
       add_shortcode( 'python', 'embed_python' );
   
       function embed_python( $attributes )
       {
           $data = shortcode_atts(
               [
                   'file' => 'hellow.py'
               ],
               $attributes
           );
   
           $handle = popen( __DIR__ . '/' . $data['file'], 'r' );
           $read = '';
   
           while ( ! feof( $handle ) )
           {
               $read .= fread( $handle, 2096 );
           }
   
           pclose( $handle );
   
           return $read;
       };
       embed_python('ddd');
       }
       ```
   
 * and I get this exception:
