For just about aspect, either they're interchangeable, or I find that
Python/Django wins (readability, library consistency, breadth of
library, security, availability).

The one area where PHP excels is deployment. Want to deploy a PHP
app? It usually involves dumping some files in a folder on a shared
hosting service, using a config-wizard to point it at the right
data-store, and you're done. So if ease-of-new-installation mattered
most to me (such as setting up NextCloud/OwnCloud, dropping a gallery
or blog on shared cPanel hosting, etc), I might choose PHP.

Deploying Django project takes a little more hand-holding and the
right type of service-offerings from the hosting machine.

But if you have successfully deployed a Django project, you've
overcome the biggest hurdle, and Python/Django wins in pretty much
every subsequent category.
