Well, some people think the world will end in 2012 so I would say that Python's future is pretty dim. :) On a more serious note, it really depends on what you mean by future. 1 year, 5 years, 20 years or 100 years? At the moment I do not see any of the mentioned languages going away in the next 2-3 or even 5 years but technology can change rapidly. I am not sure there is really a dominant LISP language so that might change but as a family I doubt it goes away. As for Python, it has been around for two decades and seems to be growing in popularity (just my opinion, not based on fact). I expect it will be around for another decade or two.
