The programming languages you mentioned dominate their niches. What is left for Python? Being a former Python programmer (5+ years) i really don't see any reason to use it now.
There are excellent libraries for data analysis, I know some people who use it in finance. It's still widely used for web applications. There are new features for asynchronous programming. Not to mention it's used by tons of major companies. Linkedin, Reddit, Youtube, just to name a few all use Python.
Funny you should say that because in the last couple of years every time I hear of something neat in web development it's in Python. Especially in the HN community it's quite dominant.
Mind you, I'm a C# developer without any knowledge of Python so I'm not at all biased.
