Python use growing fast

[Dan Stromberg]

I invite folks to check out Tiobe's Language Popularity Rankings:

The gist is: Python grew faster than any other programming language
over the last year, according to this (slightly arbitrary, but better
than no indicator) ranking.

...despite our wikipedia page whose first paragraph almost seems like
it was written with the intention of scaring off new converts, with
its "unusual" comment:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_%28programming_language%29

(Like it or not, people do frequently confuse the descriptive for the normative)
