The Two Language Problem makes this more likely than one might think. Those high level python packages that plaster over python's many mediocrities have to be written and maintained by someone, and while extremistan bears the brunt of the pain and has done a remarkable job shielding mediocristan, it's extremistan that gets to decide which language to use for the next killer app.
Of course, python has more inertia than god, so it won't go quietly.
