It's not flexible as PHP does, but I guess it's faster than PHP.

When it comes to raw performance, PHP7 is much faster than Python.

PHP is more flexible when it comes to building web applications. But in some areas Python just have better libraries (computer vision, matrices, high-level mathematical functions). I remember reading that PHP is going to add FFI and I believe FFI will have a big impact in PHP world.

Actually no, given that PHP uses a JIT nowadays, and PyPy is still barely used on the Python world.
