It's a wiki, if anybody is interested they could change the page, I 
actually have never looked at it.

My experience is that Python is the FreeBSD of the programming 
languages. For example, the average user knows mac and windows, the 
average admin knows there is also something like linux, and the average 
linux admin knows there is also something like BSD.

Python is used in a lot in custom applications, while off the shelve 
software needs a lot of buzzwords to shift any market interest.
I have participated in a couple of 'pure' Python programs, used by 
Airbus, Randstad and a whole fleet of small firms. But yes, off the 
shelve software seems to be either written in Java or any .net equivalent.
