Is Python worth learning?

[Crow and Servo]

I am fairly new to Python.  I have been using VB, C++, and Java most of my 
life.  I am debating whether it is worth learning Python over just sticking 
with Java.  It seems Python does not have any real good DB support for MS SQL 
server (at least not that I can find online and free).

Is Python going to give Java a run for its money someday, or does Java have too 
much of a lead?

Thanks.
