nginx doesn't know (or care) that you are using php or python or anything
else. All it knows is how you have configured different location{} blocks.

Each request is handled by one location, so you must make sure that you
have the right configuration in the location that your request matches.

If you are currently using php-fpm, you probably have something like

location [something that matches urls that should be handled by php] {
    fastcgi_pass [your php-fastcgi server];
}

So now that you are adding a separate fastcgi server that is associated
with python, you'll want to add a new location block like

location [something that matches urls that should be handled by python] {
    fastcgi_pass [your python-fastcgi server];
}

The details depend on what you're trying to do. The documentation on
"location", or the debug log, should show you which location is being
used for each request -- if it's not the right one, you'll need to
adjust the config.

Good luck with it,
