Why so few Python jobs?

My take, in addition to the many good reasons already mentioned, is that
Python is so easy to learn, that when it *is* appropriate to use, it's usually
simpler for the existing staff to learn Python as well (or for an otherwise
qualified recruit to be taught Python), than to specifically hunt for someone
already skilled in Python.

Of course, if the company has a need for a *very* skilled Python programmer,
then hiring specifically for that skill becomes reasonable.
