Lukes answer is an excellent one! I would add that you can find
language popularity here:

I am moving to Python from Visual FoxPro. I have been programming all
of my adult career. I have used Cobol, RPG, Basic, FoxPro and Python
all in production to make my living. I have been using FoxPro for 16
years and really love it, but find Python the most complete language.
You don't need active X or third party libraries because they are all
there and written Python.
My success as a programmer has little to do with the language or even
how well I program. It has more to do with my ability to understand the
problem and communicate with customers or my employer.
Good luck

Dear all
I want to start learning python but before going further I need answer
to my
questions so that my path can be clear to me. I shall be grateful for
your answers:
1) Where does python stand as compared to other programming languages?
2) What is the future for python?
3) Will it survive for long in this rapidly changing trends and new
languages?
4) Should I start it to earn my bread and butter? I mean is that
beneficial for income.
Sincerely
Hussain
