[python-advocacy] New python products supported?

[Dorai Thodla]

I noticed that Python support increasing among major vendors. Some of the
major influencers in software - Microsoft, Sun, Google all seem to be
increasing support for Python. Watching and highlighting major software
vendors supporting Python and talking about adoption rates may be one way to
increase awareness.

We may need a more specific PythonIT or Python in IT effort as well.
