This is a repeat: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2100629,00.asp Also, Google uses Python - two examples. Don't hit me, but I personally believe that the ads and job postings on the Internet are not the best indication of the actual work force and what businesses are using. I work for a company that is within the largest five in the country. I am continually surprised at what projects are developed in when I hear of them. There are even several large VFP projects, but I have not seen job postings for software developers with this company. My choice to pursue Python has nothing to do with open source or cross platform. I would gladly pay for Python as I have MSDN, but they are not charging me for it. My choice is because I need to develop applications that work and that I can maintain for my customers. It's my opinion that Python will do that as well as VFP.
