Their situations have much in common; Python attracted programmers away 
from (for example) C++, becuse python is easier to master; Then php 
came along and attracted programmers away from (for example) python, 
because php is easier to master.

This doesn't mean they're on the same level - in fact, if you read 
carefully you'll see my original post said as much: python attracted 
average programmers; php attracted mediocre programmers and even some 
non-programmers, which means that php is clearly a lesser language than 
python.
