(includes a quote from Alex Martelli) The trick is that Python is a bit like special sauce. If your business is booming because of it's use, you are wary of expressing it as much, because it allows you to get so much more done so much more quickly than your competitors. If they find out, then they may have a chance to catch up. It always blew me away seeing startups using JSP, .NET, etc., when starting out. Get it done first, then make it fast (if you need to).
