This is the crux of the matter from where I'm sitting. If the purpose of learning a programming language is fun, then the primary relevant question is: Is it more fun to code in Python or PHP? The answer is a no-brainer for me. It seems to me that Python is designed from the ground up with my enjoyment in mind.
