There were faster languages (and probably more 'parallel-aware' languages - it's not an area I'm very knowledgeable about) before Python but that wasn't the reason it took off. It's fairly unlikely to be the reason it dies off either.
Python remains one of the most humane languages out there and that's a quality that is much more intangible and hard to replicate.
