I am one of those too, of course, but I do know a lot of Mac users  
who spend most of their time in applications like Photoshop,  
Dreamweaver, BBEdit, etc. and rarely venture towards the Terminal.   
Not quite the same audience, but at least some of them would be  
potential Python users by way of appscript or web development tools.
