If you browse the discussions and quick answers on the site you will see that there is even no section for Python. This means there are not much Pythonians visiting the site and thus no one to vote despite the beauty of Python. There are a lot of articles about C# and also for C++ and this attracts C# and C++ programmers, so it is normal most of them to votes to be for C# and C++. Ask the same question in Python forum and I bet Python will be their favorite language Wink | ;)
