PHP is for amateurs
Python has its place, but don't try to build large responsive enterprise-scalable systems with it. Interpreted languages like this have far too many negatives.
You want to do some data science-y stuff? Fine. Hack around to quickly build a proof of concept model? Fine. But unless you know EXACTLY why you are using it instead of a better language (C, C++, C#, Java to name a few) then you probably should be using the better language.
Also one of the positives of Python is the library support......most of the time is is overrated, and outside of that,other languages are catching up quickly.
