I think your recollection of Python is a bit off. Python wasn't really obscure or developed in silence. If you needed a glue language for a unix system, then there were really only three choices: Perl 5, TCL/tk, and Python.

If you worked in a career where you needed a glue language, then you were at the very least aware that Python existed.

Python got a massive push from Google too. At one point (Early 2000s?) they were hiring a ton of python developers.

What kicked Python on 2000's was Zope, everyone was into Zope, like Rails almost a decade later.
