PHP:

It could be possible that your myscript.py is not found, use a Full Path:

 $output = shell_exec("<your Full Path>myscript.py '$varone' 'vartwo' ");

myscript.py

You must Read the passed Parameters in your Python Script, for instance:

def InitPython(ID,Name):
  'DO STUFF'

if __name__ == '__main__':
   import sys
   InitPython(sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2])

Relevant: Python Documentation: module-argparse

The argparse module makes it easy to write user-friendly command-line interfaces. The program defines what arguments it requires, and argparse will figure out how to parse those out of sys.argv
