why python got less developers ?

Besides the marketing argument, python never had a "hype".

Both PHP and ruby(Rails to be precise) got widespread because they could
  at one point do "one" thing better than the competition. From there
on, they had more ressources (developer time) and grew fast and beyond
the original problem domain. Now you can write GUI apps in PHP, great!

You guys can say anything you'd like it to be in this thread, but the
actual reason comes down to
1. No marketing. Seriously, if Microsoft was pushing Python it would
obviously be a lot bigger in terms of developers.
2. No certification. Millions go to college to get degrees in computer
related study. Do the math.

Also, really guys? This crap about speed? People have been saying this
for years, and yet they still don't realize that there are plenty
solutions to take care of that one problem.

Just be happy that you've stumbled upon Python, just because it's not
the most widespread language in the world certainly doesn't mean it's
not a worthy language. Quite the opposite.

I really don't care if 100 or 100 million are using Python as long as
it will endure my lifetime so i can use it . But it would be
interesting to see a good approx of this number... just for kicks

Your post seems a contridiction of itself? i am confused :\

It seems to be a language embraced by people who enjoy coding. Not so
much by the time-spent-seeking-degree to paycheck ratio balancing
crowd. Or maybe I just hate bloated IDEs and I've heard too many Java
dev jokes to be impartial.
