I don't know if this is a fair comparison or not. Any comments
appreciated.

- Python is more readable, and more general purpose
- PHP has awful backward compatibility
- PHP has a lower barrier to entry
- Most inexpensive web-hosters support PHP, but not Python
- PHP has far more pre-writen scripts available
- mod_python is difficult to set up, and use, and is buggy and prone to
crash
- There is more demand for PHP developers, than Python developers
