Could Python supplant Java?

In alt.destroy.microsoft, I heard Nick Ruisi say:
>.net compiled code can run on linux with the mono CLR 
>(http://www.go-mono.com). One can use the mono tool kit to write / 
>compile .Net code on a linux box, without ever touching a microsoft

>It's just like java.

So why bother?
