The problem is python never took off as a scripting language. In spirit it was a great language to develop applications in.
This creates a dilemma for a lot of people while choosing a technology. If you have to choose a language where you don't want to develop stuff quickly. Then you now have sufficient time to choose a static language and then develop stuff at the speed desired.
For other quick stuff there is Perl anyway.And it doesn't make sense to use Python, which is slow(compared to java), which doesn't give quick development cycle(compared to perl).
If you wish to relevant for a long time, then you have to do at least one thing properly.
