is python more popular than coldfusion?

[worzel]

Wth respect to coldfusion, is there much doubt about the fact that Python is 
a more prominent and important technology?

How is colfusion percieved by the Python community? Many people belive 
coldfusion is becomeing irrelavant and is on its death bed - do Python folk 
generally feel this way about it?

Thanks for your input on this by the way.
