I am extremely adept and comfortable with PHP. I've been using it for years. I'm learning python, but I'm still deciding if I'll need to learn rails or not. Is the time it'd take me to learn rails, really saving me time in the long run? I can do pretty much anything in PHP that could be done in rails. I'll still look into it though. I'm not one to jump on a band wagon, but masses of people don't move themselves by just themselves... not all the time.

If you're good at Python, you probably don't need to learn Ruby. I hear Python has some frameworks that are comparable to Rails. Hopefully, someone that knows both will be able to answer this question more in depth for you or point you to one of the endless essays on the subject available on the web.

It's what I'm learning/using at the moment and I'm really enjoying it. I like Python primarily because it's a very well thought out language and the Django frameworks leverages this nicely.
The other notable Python web frameworks are:
Zope, found at: http://zope.org Plone (which is really wrapper around Zope), found at: http://plone.org TurboGears, found at: http://www.turbogears.org/
You forgot http://webpy.org Web.py
I also forgot CherryPy http://www.cherrypy.org/
