I believe you are not looking for general benchmark? Aren't you? because there are tonnes of benchmark or research already done by bloggers http://www.google.com.my/search?q=php+vs+python+benchmark
btw, as my personal preference and research - speed python saves a lot time to write codes than php, less bloated classes, in term of my "speed". - scalability for web frameworks, Django+nginx+uwsgi+SQLite only consumes about 5MB RAM but symfony+nginx+fcgi+SQLite eats up to 50MB! and I did do a test on a machine with 32MB RAM and 266Mhz cpu, Django works just well. - syntax for sure python is cleaner and easier to understand. Less "syntax error" when you missed a semicolon etc... But it's a pain if you have bad indentation habit. - choice of language you do know when you should use php or python for your projects. I am always use php for a simple web development and python for a simple console or daemon application. - programmer >> It seems that it is harder to find a Python programmer then a PHP programmer >> in Msia. It's true and it's sometimes not a big problem. Just like a people who can speak several languages or cannot. Sometimes it's necessary to know several languages when you meet people who can't speak you language. So come on, learn your third language! But the problem is the eager to learn new languages. Just like a people who learned VB 15 years ago, still using VB because he believes VB can do _anything_ and he don't want to waste his time by learning new languages, therefore he can spend more time with family and friends. But I believe writing an application in Python or PHP sometimes take _much_ less time than VB and you can get more family and friends. Your call. The most debating topic is python vs ruby btw. Python FTW!
