Question:

Are companies hiring Python developers instead of Java developers?

Facts:

dice.com (US):

17274 jobs requiring Java currently
6249 jobs requiring Python currently

naukri.com (India):

25047 jobs requiring Java currently
4991 jobs requiring Python currently


itjobwatch.co.uk (UK):

15420 jobs requiring Java within 3 months
5863 jobs requiring Python within 3 months

Conclusion:

Even though Python is quite popular then in the big IT markets
Java demand is about 3 times Python demand.

(the market in your specific country/area can obviously be different)

Question:

Are people more interested in learning Python than in Java?

Fact:

stackoverflow.com:

5434 questions tagged with Java this week
3380 questions tagged with Python this week

tiobe.com (mostly based on search popularity):

Java 20.403% rating
Python 3.771% rating

Conclusion:

Even though Python is quite popular then people are still
more interested in Java than Python.
