For one, Python is very big in the GIS space. Python is one of the main scripting language for ArcGIS, which is the main software platform that GIS folks use.

Python is rapidly overtaking R as the language of data analysis.
The normal places you'd find developer jobs. I didn't check the Python forums or other Python specific job boards.

That's strange. In what industries? Doing what?
I see C engineering jobs, tons of webapp jobs (PHP, C#, Ruby on Rails, etc), Java for all the things, VB.net for business desktop applications, and so on. I cannot think of the last time I ran across a Python job except they're occasionally listed as a "useful skill" in a SysAdmin job advert.

I see a decent amount of PHP on Windows and it seems to be very well supported. JavaScript I guess more so but that seems like an odd thing to list in that context.
