F-2's post in PL-8 performance and meaningful difference between PL-8A and B besides parts? was marked as the answer
From what reading I’ve done on it and Python III it seems the best analog is the Magic II. Python could be slaved to radar and supposedly had superior maneuverability to AIM-9L. Ultimately these missiles are in the same class and from what I gather constitute marginal differences. That said I think PL-8 should be a little better albeit heavier then Aim-9L.
