In my experience, whatever the dba wants to use, you'll end up using it.
 On the other hand, if the dba is good enough it won't really make a

That requires a move to Python from PHP as well.  From personal
experience, moving from one language to another is very unproductive.
If you're willing or able to allocate the right amount of time
(quadruple your worst case estimate is a good starting point) you
*mihgt* be able to pull it off.
