Python has *always* been obviously better than PHP (or perl, etc.) But if you have no skills, you look for the easiest path: the goal is to get the project going.
If your expertise is Perl, climbing the Python learning curve, gentle as it may be, isn't attractive, and becomes less so as your available time to engage in such things narrows. And so your project $sucks @terribly $$ and looks like APL
This is how I can tell that you're not an APL programmer. APL programs are beautiful. Perl looks as if your mom picked up the phone while you were using a BBS.
