unfortunately, time is (almost) always a constraint for everyone :-(

why not taking some of your time to be at ease with python or whatever
instead of requesting valuable core team time to program the things you
need ?

There are very few specific pitfalls with PHP language itself since it's
very intuitive for any experienced programmer. The only real issues
are implementation bugs has some exists, more or less, in any language/program.
being at ease with python is *much* simpler than dealing with threads
for example. It looks you have enough programming experience to handle threads
then it's likely that you can become very good with most high level interpreted
language in a matter of days (if "interpreted languages" still means something
nowadays, but that's another story).
my 2 cents
