In many ways PHP is just now starting to come into its own

Is that really a good comparison?

The PHP code you linked to is basically a class with a bunch of getters and setters.

The Python code, on the other hand, handles numerous real-world HTTP requests that do actual work.

So it's not unexpected that the PHP code is lighter; it doesn't really do anything useful!

Although it helps implement a wiki system, the Python code is still very readable and comprehensible with minimal effort.

I think I know the point that you're trying to make, but those examples surely don't back it up in any way.

Well, wherever you look you'll find the same thing as the whole framework is written in the same way: specific classes with small methods. And you can't say that the framework as a whole does nothing.

I agree about the python code that it is reasonably readabale, but i still think it's ugly. Those two things are not the same.
