future of python vs java?

[2cents]

Hi,

I'm an experience Java Programmer.
Currently I'm looking python as alternative language for my customers to
build web application.

I've been building webapplication using Java and it works well.
But mostly it is for high tier clients.

So, at this time, I'm looking to offer solution for Small businesses.
I've found out Zope application server, is a good alternative to build a web
application. But it uses python.

My questions:
-How is the future of python? (probably as compared to Java)

thanks,
Heri
