I wouldn't argue that Java is a lot bigger than Python in real world adaption. But the Stackoverflow graph that was posted above looks at growth over the last past 5 years. I have been working with Python for 12 years and only in the last few did I get the impression that it is a popular language. For example when I'm interviewing candidates for a junior dev position, pretty much all of them have at least some Python experience from University, whereas when I started all the fellow Python programmers either learned it on the job or in their spare time. I do agree that StackOverflow isn't a good proxy, but I could image Python getting more new regular users than Java at the moment.
