I bet that if they did this with PHP framework they where far from where 
they are now.

I didn't say that it's not possible to write good code in PHP, I said 
that Python and Django encourage cleaner code more than PHP and PHP 
frameworks do. 

IMHO Python language is better designed and this influences everything 
written in it.

Yes, it's possible to write something clean in PHP but it would require a 
lot more work.
