I'd like to take a slightly different perspective on why you should
learn Python: it's simply more fun that the other languages. I know
lots of programming languages, and many are useful, but python is the
only language that I actually look forward to programming in. There is
a real elegance to the syntax, and, once you get used to the whole
indenting thing, you can use python as a pseudocode or an outlining
language. The more you enjoy a language, the more you will use it, and
the better you will be at it.
