Python seems more popular in the USA than UK from speaking with people at
conferences.  There have been a small number of test framework-type python
roles here but not many.

I suspect Django may increase the number of python roles but Rails
has been popular (as has Catalyst).  I like Python and I wish it
were more widely used.
