Not all code is enterprise code. For the last 5 years of my professional career I use Python almost exclusively.

>There are too many ways to do the same thing, (...)

Fair, but that's a funny statement to make because Python from the start tried to have just one obvious solution for every problem. Maybe that's just what happens with languages over time.

>not type safe

Nitpick: Python is dynamically typed, but is actually quite type safe as used in practice (i.e. type errors are usually caught in runtime instead of silently doing the wrong thing). YMMV of course.

>and I personally don't know many real python pros, the majority are just using python to play with.

The beautiful thing about Python is that you don't have to be a pro to use it effectively :). And I think this may be a result of your professional bubble - for example I don't know any Java pros, but I have no doubts there are many.
