Wow, lots of python. I use it quite a bit too but mainly for scripting. What are you guys using it for?

Currently I don't do much 'proper' programming and use it mainly for GIS and data analysis and numerical modelling, and occasionally using it for chucking up a simple web front-end to either run or view the results. I have however in the past used it for writing non-trivial desktop GUI applications and web services.
Science!

Linguistics and machine learning. I just finished implementing a swipe trajectory recognition for a Swype-like keyboard. It's my thesis.

Nice, hope you'll post a link to your thesis/code when you're done (for Science!)
Interesting! Thanks. Can't wait for code too :D
Sure! It's due on friday. I'll update this post with a link.
