The different client libraries do not (yet) use the same algorithm to
hash the keys to decide which server gets which segments of data. You
should investigate which key hashing algorithm php/perl and python are
using.  (standardizing this has been discussed on the list more than
onces)

put simply; access is not the same across languages (yet)
