I do not think it is a secret. As far as I know the security pricing infrastructure of Bank of America is based on proprietary object database built in Python and the JP Morgan Chase has been working for some time on an internal trading platform based on Python (do not know if it is in use at this time). Also I have consulted with some local trading companies in Chicago that use Python+pytable+numpy+hdf5.
Here is a source https://www.quora.com/Why-are-banks-like-JP-Morgan-and-Bank-of-America-Merrill-Lynch-using-Python-to-replace-historic-legacy-systems-built-in-Java-C++ but I have my own sources. :-) In fact a friend told me Bank of America uses web2py too although not for business critical apps where they use proprietary code, but for interfacing some of their Air Conditioning systems. I have been unable to verify this information. I know other banks or large financial institutions that also use web2py for some of internal non-business critical development.
