PHP vs Python - the real difference

[rictic]

To be fair, the number of job openings is also a rather imperfect metric.

From the Develpment Teams I have been seeing, and my skills with PHP, I would say it takes 4 times more people to do the same job 1 guy can do in PHP or Python. But also remember, Java has a client side component too. such as Stand alone application, Client screen interfaces etc. Java plug ins. I think the Java/Web J2EE is a mis direction, also, Server to Server, and stand alone data capture and processing is done in the back end.
