newbie: good reasons for learning Python?

[somaBoyMX]

Hiya,


I've been checking out some Python tutorials on the web, it looks cool
enough. I'm already fairly good at JavaScript, ActionScript and PHP and now
I'd like to tackle Python. However, I still need to be convinced before I
decide to dedicate my precious free time to this. So I'd like to hear some
convincing arguments for Python.

Thanks
