Advantages of using PHP over Python, for large scale web projects

Advantages of using PHP over Python, for large scale web projects:

• type hinting
• privates, protected keywords, final methods
• interfaces and abstract classes (and traits)
• constants/defines
• methods are not properties!!!
• consistent foreach usage (for both lists and dictionaries)
• you can't read globals from a function scope without using global keyword so accidental masking will be avoided

Some advantages of Python:

• reliable package system
• decorators
• class methods
• strong duck-typing; for example you cannot concatenate an integer to a string
• a portable alternative to shell scripts
