Since you're a Linux book author, you may have a subscription to Linux
Journal. In the December issue, Phil Hughes interviews GvR and poses
the same question. The answer is that noone knows.

(BTW, in the same issue, Doc Searls interviews ESR, who says, once
again, that he has dropped Perl for Python.)

Guido does say that his gut tells him the Python community is an order
of magnitude smaller than Perl's.
