For the big stack frameworks, it's quite major. As he said, without the sheer market share that Rails has for Ruby…
That's true for big full stack frameworks, where most of the contenders disappeared. Real competition seems to happen mostly in the mini framework area, due to people being forced to ditch more and more parts of their full stacks and wondering why they couldn't instead build upon a small platform. Flask is gaining traction here.
And then there's app engine, where things run a bit differently, and forcing django et al on top of it can feel a bit unnatural. Tipfy seems to be en vogue there.
In Python country, you always had quite a number of projects that ran outside the mainstream, though. Tornado, cherrypy, web.py, web2py etc.
