Python vs Java

Java programmers have always been, are and will be in price. But it is best to know Java and Python, at least if it is written in summary — this is a big plus for you.

The question is, what do you want to work for a large firm, where Java is used for a specific project and continue to work with her OR to get into a small "office" where you can be "rank", to develop medium and small projects.
In the second case is clearly the Python, not Django, and Pyramid or Pylons. My personal opinion — the use of Java in the medium and small(small) projects — evil, and Django is not the best web framework.
