I personally learned python without any previous programming knowledge. TBH, I used to write scripts for mIRC, so I knew *some* very basic things, but be certain I had to rewire my entire brain to think like a real programmer.
I'm now on my third django project and while my developing speed has improved tenfold in the past year, it's an interesting learning process if you have the time and patience (and if you know English). PHP is not a prerequisite to anyone who wants to learn python. Your time would be better spent reading more of the latter than dealing with idiosyncrasies of the former.
