I don't agree, many large projects are written with PHP, I'm sure you can find 
many examples for it. LAMP skills are quite common (and I have to think about 
others maintaining the code after me if needed), and I'm sure LAMP is/will be 
installed on the servers -stats will be deployed on.

Anyway, there's nothing you can do with one lang which can be done with the 
other for web devel (and PHP is designed for it). While python gives clear 
advantage in the client side (portage), there's no such advantage on the 
server side.

Those who want to follow the development, the modules are stored on gentoo's 
cvs.

Server:
gentoo-src/gentoo-stats/server-ng

Client:
gentoo-src-gentoo-stats/client-ng
