In a matter of a week or two if they're at all competent.

Even if they don't know Python, if they know _variety_ of other
languages (scheme/lisp, Smalltalk, Java, C, FORTRAN, assembly) they'll
be able to pick up Python quickly.

If they have only ever used a single language, that may be a warning
sign.
