I find it odd to see Java and Python lumped together. The companies I've seen using those respective languages (by job listings) seem to be quite different. I'm a Python developer and I've only ever worked in small, fast moving teams (biggest team I've worked in had 4 developers).

You must not be in SF or NYC. Python and Ruby (and even Node, to an extent) have supplanted Java as the language of fungible mass-market headcount du jour.

I am in Germany, here they have hardly supplanted anything, specially when one actually cares about performance.

You're right, I'm in neither of those places. Where I'm at, there's C#/.NET or Java, and then there's everything else.
