I've switched from PHP to Django for personal projects. Here's some random thoughts: - Deploying Django isn't hard at all. No more difficult than LAMP apps. - Python is a better language than PHP (IMHO) - Tons of python libraries to work with. Wanna resize thumbnails? It's easier to work with PIL than cobbling together imagemagick commands. I've never worked with those PHP frameworks, so I can't comment specifically on them. They're probably fine to work with, but I'll always stick with Django over learning a PHP framework. The main difference is getting to use a language like Python or Ruby instead of PHP.
