Customers I have consulted for (Multi-nationals Banks mostly) haven't
heard about it. I explain it as a Perl that you can more easily read
and maintain.

Many unix system administrators have invested a lot of time trying to
gronk perl - and so resist moving to a "batteries included" language.

I had to fight to have the interpreter installed on some servers - and
so ended up using "freeze" or whatever to hide what it was made with.

That said - I think that Linux may be one of the driving forces for
python. Every Linux server has the python interpreter - much like
pretty much any unix (Sun/AIX etc)installation has perl right now.

I found python a "secret weapon" to impress clients with speed of code
delivery...
