Matter of choice, I'd say. As far as I know Guido van Rossum, python's author, is working with Google to help them in their projects, but it was half-time day or something similar. Personally I don't find python useful for my tasks, now and before, there's nothing I couldn't do in Perl, so that I have to use Python, the indentation is confusing me a lot, and I'm not used to not having end-of-line symbol. But please, let's not make the thread of that sort : "I don't like python, I like PHP instead". I know few people that made some really impressive stuff in Python, as well as the KDE guys.
So, again, matter of choice, but I also agree that there's less press noise for python recently.
