[BangPypers] Regarding Python popularity

[Srinivas Reddy Thatiparthy]

1.The other day my friend was saying ;Since python is opensource ,so
many companies fear that their product's byte code 
could be reverse engineered.To protect  their Intellectual Property
rights they stay away from python,
is it true? 

2.What hinders python from becoming  a popular OOP language,like a
Java,C#,C++?
is it just slowness of python or dynamic language or Marketing?
I would like to know .
