Python code is a *lot* prettier and more readable than PHP, and generally more fun to work with.
You can also do websites in Python via mod_python. (I haven't used it for anything serious yet but I already know I would rather use it than PHP for a new site.)

Visibility is not properly a function of the object system. Python solves this problem the way
other languages have solved it, properly: with a package system. The fact that Python objects
don't limit access the way they do in Java and PHP just means that they aren't broken.
The fact that packages handle visibility in Python, instead of objects, also means that you
can control visibility for non-OO constructs, like functions and variables, without having to resort
to nonsense like container packages and "static methods".

Could you elaborate on that further please?
I've dabbled with both and I see Python's OOP semantics as fairly broken in comparison to PHP 5's (no real visibility modifiers, etc.)
