I will give an unpopular answer and say that Python's main advantage
over PHP in web applications is Python's superiority as a programming
language for implementing complex projects.  Python has considerable
disadvantages in the areas you're asking about (ease of programming,
lots of examples, lots of people who know how to use it, ease of
administration, etc.) but if you're doing something big and
complicated, you have to overcome all those other kinds of issues
anyway, so you win by using Python.  However, it sounds like you're
doing something relatively lightweight, in which case those
disadvantages start to weigh on you.  You may be better off using PHP.
