I've only been to a couple of the London Python groups, but the ratio is a *bit* lower. Maybe 50%. In London you get people from Resolver, Reportlab and Jamkit (Zope) who use Python. Simon Brunning is a Pythonista in his spare time but uses Java at work. He has got Jython fairly deeply embedded though.
