I think many programmers (myself included), use more than one language at the same time. At the moment I use VB, python, flex and java, for different environments and different problems within those environments. If I want to quickly do something, for instance manipulating a CSV file, Python is my goto tool. And this is the reason Python will be popular for many because it can do certain things very fast and with minimum of fuss. Therefore I think Python will be around for awhile.
