I would say it's the same. Maybe a little higher but I'm talking about nuts.

As for Italy I would say that Java PHP and NET are the most requested
positions, half of which I would personally discard because I know I
would end up doing something "not funny".
Python covers a quite relatively small niche.
In my city I'm aware of only 4 companies which actively work with
Python, mine included.
