It really doesn't matter.
What matters is having great coders, great ideas for your app and executing them effectively and efficiently which is possible with both PHP and Python.
You can write horrible code with both languages, it might be horrible in a different way but it'd still be horrible. :D
That said, if you're the only one having doubts about Python but the rest of your team wants to write the app in Python and they do have experience working in Python - why don't you trust your team's judgement?
As it doesn't matter, it would be the sensible decision to pick the language your team would like to code in, imho. :)
