I'm sure that anyone who is competent enough can write clean code in any language (in the case of PHP, I am only familiar with one significant example: I use and have written a few simple extensions for mediawiki, and I find it quite easy to understand and navigate the code). However, while I feel that most languages are quite neutral about this, I find that Python *encourages* me to write better code. In other words, Python is not only a tool, it's also a lovely language. Languages are a bit like shoes.
