Well, Python, Zope & Plone hosting are quite popular. However python based blog software isn't as sexy as let's say blogger.
For SPE I first used a combination of PyDS&pycs.net. It is free for everyone, but unfortunately not stable enough to my standards. Luckily I got sponsored by zettai.net, who offer me excellent Zope hosting. There I use CoreBlog as I wanted consciously to use a python product. As a rule of thumb: when you are totally happy with the templates of prepacked blogs like blogger, then stick with that. But... even though they look slick, they all look the same. It's a bit the same problem of flash. So if you really want to modify your blog, you better take a product which is written in a language you understand. That's the reason why I like to work with Zope, Plone and CoreBlog. But I guess a python programmer using other blog systems is not as bad as a microsoft worker googling for the newest ipod. I'm sure a lot Perl or Ruby programmers also use mailman for their mailing lists.
