Python Usage

[cddlens at yahoo.com]

I'm currently investigating Python for potential
company adoption, and it seems to be quite powerful. 
I have some fundamental questions however:

Is Python commonly used throughout an enterprise (such
as within IT, MIS) for script generation, or mostly by
software groups and teams that have dedicated
programmers writing full-blown applications?  Is often
used by system managers as a replacement for batch
files or multiplatform scripting?  Is it more common
within software/technology organizations or within
other sectors such as financial and manufacturing?

Any information or comments would be greatly
appreciated!
Thanks!
