The difference is striking the balance between developer's speed and performance. In case we don't want to reload everything and run from scratch, it's pretty easy to do with python too. But we "chose" to run it always and quick reload, so the requests aren't too slow [and scalable].
Rest of the things you mentioned are pretty same for Python as well.
You talk about performance, but I think that is another point for PHP. In my experience, PHP handles the same requests faster.
Yes, I could build everything from scratch myself in Python and have the same statelessnes as in PHP. But parsing headers, creating headers etc feels like it should be handled by a framework. In PHP, it is build right in.
And if I would build it, it would talk to the webserver via CGI. But I think CGI is slow. For PHP, you have mod-php which is super fast.
