KG, I've been a PHP developer for years and haven't reached outside of PHP pretty much ever. After writing the same code over and over and over and over and over again and always dealing with the same issues (tweaking the database through a database manager, writing admin interfaces, not having a broad enough codebase such as what Python offers, solving the same problem over and over again, etc). I'm a very disorganized person (it comes with the territory for programmers, I imagine) and I don't have time to continually categorize and maintain a personal common code base for every app I write. I love Django because it cuts out all of the repetitive boring crap from the start of a project. I'm sure that frameworks are available in PHP that are similar, but to be honest I like Python a lot better than PHP because it "feels" like a real programming language, and while PHP has its virtues, I find myself using Python as often as possible to solve real problems. Django literally forces me to abstract my code from templating, which has traditionally been a problem when I've collaborated with others on projects; designers assume they can code and end up breaking the entire site. Now, I can delegate template design entirely to the web designers and they can focus on their job and I can do mine.
