I love python community, but i always thought that it is built only on people's enthusiasm...

  That enthusiasm translates to a lot of very hard work, huge deployments and plenty of investment. What's wrong with enthusiasm?

  It's hard to be enthusiastic if you don't have a job that pays you enough and gives you enough free time in which to be enthusiastic. Enthusiasm is a luxury! Even if people start out being enthusiastic when building open-source projects, they quickly lose the enthusiasm if when they are faced with an on-going choice between working for nothing and earning a living. Most successful open-source software contributors have decently-paid jobs. The people who don't get paid enough are too busy struggling to earn a living to work for nothing on top of that.
