I converted from PHP -> Python a long long time ago. But it was my first programming language.
PHP and Laravel is excellent. In particular, Laravel developers come across as very intelligent to me. In the end though, Python has multi-spectrum dominance.

Python has Django (https://www.djangoproject.com/). It's 90% as good as Laravel. Which means it's very, very good.
But the thing with Python is it owns PHP when you're doing non-website stuff. If you can be convinced to give up Laravel (it may be hard), Python is easily the best choice.
Python has PEP standards PEP8 (code style) and PEP257 (code docs) long before PHP PSR's became a thing.
Scraping. Normalizing data. Python can handle big data sets. Machine Learning/AI.
Has documentation via Sphinx. Here's an example of one of my projects: https://cihai.git-pull.com. Here's an example of generated API docs: https://cihai.git-pull.com/en/latest/api.html.
The nature of being "Pythonic" spreads into open source code, and later into teams, so the libraries you pull in have a familiar style.
OOP is implemented better in python. That rubs off onto the quality of the libraries and how enjoyable they are to implement.
In my opinion, once you get a hang of Python, it's much easier to read than PHP.
