In general, PHP is more tightly integrated into web servers than Python 
is.  Python's advantages are 1) a more disciplined and carefully planned 
language and standard library, and 2) a larger and broader ecosystem of 
libraries, especially for tasks not directly related to serving web pages.

As to restarting servers after source changes: most people do not change 
file directly on their production servers.  They develop on their own 
machines, test the code, then deploy it to a production server.  In this 
scenario, restarting the web server is not a burden.

I don't know what the options are for auto-restarting the kinds of web 
servers you'd use in production, I'm sure there are some.  Someone here 
mentioned the Django web server, but that isn't intended for production use.
