I've been hiring both Python and PHP devs. It's absolutely night and day difference.
I don't think you need to worry... YET.
1. Python is simply a superior language.
2. There isn't currently a "WordPress" type of project that is bringing in droves of awful Python coders.
Will it eventually turn sour? If things continue with Python, I think so. But the language and community will do a good job keeping things slightly sane. I think the Python community understands the importance on both fronts. Sure, bad programmers are everywhere. But bad contributing programmers need to be kept at bay and out of our favorite GitHub repo's.
In my experiences as a solo founder needing junior-level programmers, Python is currently in the perfect sweet spot for adoption vs. quality. It's largely up to us in the community as to how long that will last.
