I've spent 15 years writing serious code and never ran into Python all that much until I went back to engineering school. I don't think a lot of people use it for their backend code, at least in my experience. But wow are there lots of stats and science people using it exclusively--it's completely ubiquitous in academia and research (though R is making headway).
