Except for speed, PHP has another awesome thing going for it: Statelessness.

You throw some PHP files on a server and have a working web application. As soon as you change a PHP file, the change is in effect on next reload of the page. You might be able to do the same in Python, but everybody in Python world is doing the long running thread approach, so you would be on uncharted territory.
