You never learn a language completely. I'm using Python for 3 years, 
getting started was a matter of one or two days. But I have written code 
in ~10 different languages since 25 years. I started from here: 
https://wiki.python.org/moin/SimplePrograms

> 2. What made you want to learn python?

Numpy. I am writing scientific software, and numpy/scipy is becoming the 
new standard. Scientists shift from Matlab because Python is free.

> 3. Was it difficult to learn the language?

Comparable to other scripting languages.

> 4. Have you been able to get a job out of your new skill?

In my current job/profession, you choose the language. The objective is 
to get the job done, and often to throw away the program in the end. The 
faster you get the job done, the more successful you are. For many of 
those tasks, Python works very well. For others, I use different languages.
