In this particular subject: yes.

My research of this subject was very limited, just looked at the major
job boards, and compared demand for python developers to demand for
other languages, such as java, c++, visual basic, or php. An
unscientific test, I realize. But, it's not easy to get good data on
such a subject: everybody has an agenda, it seems.

I don't count jobs where python is an "also ran" skill. For example,
sys-admin jobs where python is listed with a dozen other skills.

The posts in this thread have been helpful.
