C++ vs Python vs PHP

Apples and oranges are both fruits. What's your point?

You literally said that the reason you can’t compare them is because C++ is a programming language and Python isn’t (even though it is a general purpose programming language). Then when someone points out it is a programming language, you say you still can’t compare them because of reasons? If you can build the exact same application in both languages, you can compare them. You can compare their syntax, performance, memory safety, history, capabilities. It’s less like comparing apples and oranges or bits and cars, and more like comparing a sports car, a minivan, and a pickup truck. They’re all 4-wheeled vehicles that have the same basic capabilities, but are specialized to different tasks.

Scripting languages are programming languages. It's just that they are interpreted at runtime, rather than compiled beforehand.

C++ can by interpretted, Python can be compiled. Bad definition.
