If I had to venture an opinion, my impression has been that the MySQL/PostgreSQL division lies more along the line between web applications and other types of apps. For some reason, web people seem to either prefer MySQL or (more likely) fall back to it as a default. If there's a bias toward PostgreSQL in the Python crowd, I suspect that's due to the fact that Python's presence seems to be more weighted toward non-web programming relative to other languages (this being due to Python's general applicability, not an implication Python isn't suited for the web).
