Python didn't win, really, in any meaningful sense. It's probably the most ubiquitous language, because it's a great teaching language, and works reasonably well for a bunch of different kinds of users -- but only to a point. A jack-of-all-trades is a master of none. It's extraordinarily difficult to use Python in large, high-scale, or otherwise non-trivial systems. (Same is true for Ruby, for the record.)
