Between this pressure (which isn't new, since as Steve points out, I was talking about this in Python community last year, and I wasn't nearly the first) and the growing popularity of Ruby on Rails, there's some small hint that Ruby is gaining on Python re: non-Java web app mind share. I think that's a v. important niche for Python and would like to see us remain strong there (though I've not *done* much about this, alas).
I think that's probably true -- at least in terms of mindshare, even though that might not reflect on actual work done. But, Rails is really not a very experimental framework, and the existance of continuation-based frameworks for Ruby is an aside. If such frameworks happen at all for Python, I think they will be an aside as well.
