It was pretty interesting to see the all-time details for the languages:

* Python [1,2] : 20 + 15 = 35

* Ruby [3,4] : 31 + 8 = 39

* PHP [5] : 336

Ouch :(

That seems a little unfair on PHP if taken at face value. I don't know PHP, but doesn't it come with things like database client libraries and templating? That's not really comparable with the core Python distribution.

Presumably a fairer comparison would compare (Python + Django) with (Ruby + RoR) with PHP?
