Do some Googling, look at what Python can do, make your mind up.

There's no point adding yet another language to the armory just for the 
sake of it, good though the new language might be.

Think of problems that have been difficult to solve using your present 
toolset and see if you can find Python soltuions that seem to be more 
elegant. With your programming background you can learn enough Python in 
a long day's Googling to let you make your mind up.
