Deployment is completely separate to the code base, and the challenges faced from deploying a PHP/Rails app is exactly the same as you'd face with Python. It all comes down to what your release process is.. it could be argued that PHP can just be uploaded via FTP to XYZ host, but it could (and should) also be argued that this is not how you should do deployment properly. The decision of language, framework, hosting, devops workflow (e.g. deployment etc) does not have a one size fits all. These decisions should be made based on your own use case and situation, including the skill set of your team, timescales, project goals, expected lifetime of the application etc. Sadly, despite all the tooling that exists, none of them really satisfy real world needs. And the ones that do are either hideously complex or excessively priced.
