But you can only be productive in python If you're willing to learn its way of programming.

If you want PHP, nothing is more PHP than PHP itself, and python takes different approaches, so maybe you're going to be frustrated because things are not like you're used to.

However, if you are searching for a new, better way of doing things, python is for you.

After reading the basic python tutorial, try some python web framework like pylons and see for yourself.
