Not really in my experience. Really, the only place where I'd say Python has gotten more support so far than R is in deep learning. If you want any just-published statistical method, the associated implementation will almost inevitably be in R. But that's today -- I'm old enough to remember when the standard language in "The Journal of Statistical Software" was XLISP-STAT (much of the 1990s).
