I can only speak from my experience but I'm noticing a lot of projects that once would have been done in PHP are now being done in Python. While Ruby is my favorite language *I'm* not seeing as much interest from clients in it as I am in Python. I think it's safe to say that PHP is going to be around for awhile that said I think its going to start declining as more Python developers start to hit the market.
