I think it is the search volume relative to the total number of searches. So, all the decline means is that the number of searches for "Python programming" releative to all searches done is declining. For example, there is a larger number of people searching for things like "Britney Spears", "Paris Hilton" and "pr0n" than there are for Python. It is simply a sign that Google is becoming more popular with the mainstream user, not python, ruby or even perl becoming less popular. Matt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
