why isn't python more popular?

[sp00fd]

I'm curious, it seems to me that _A LOT_ of people recognize
python as a well done, practical language.  I occassionally
browse the scheme or perl or java newsgroups (etc..) and I often
see python mentioned as being a great language, so why don't I
see more companies using python.  While I realize that some do
(i.e. Industrial Light and Magic, etc), it's not nearly to the
point that perl is used.  Heck, even Tchrist has good(great?)
things to say about python.

Is it that white space counts?  That's really the only gripe
that I see.
