Well I don't know anywhere that PHP isn't more popular than Python. The 
question I think
is a technical one. Python is a better "language" that PHP is. Perl is 
as well but that is a whole
other argument.

PHP is what I call the "Dumb Monkey" language. It isn't meant to be 
rude, but the reality is
that almost any dumb monkey can code something in PHP. Python takes 
actual thought to
produce something useful.

Whether or not that is a bad thing is for another argument :)

Sincerely,
