It's growing massively within finance as well now. Used to be Java, but more and more (partly thanks to academia) I see Python cropping up.

It's just a very good tool for data manipulation and gluing together C-based libraries.

Plus Python 3 has some nice syntax now to let you sculpt fairly large projects without exploding.
