I'm not as proficient in Python (compared to PHP) and Python is not used very widely within Wikimedia (operations/dumps uses it though). If this makes maintaining/ developing the tool easier, I don't see a strong reason not to go for Python.
The script is not interfering with MediaWiki internally, so it's fine for it to not be in PHP.
Note: When rewriting this, we might also want to use the opportunity to make it customizable so that it works for all of Wikimedia in the end.
