It is the only language out of the mainstream ones I have used I get excited about using. YMMV depending on what field your in. Python is very strong for glue work. Has a long way to go in other areas though. Very popular getting for web development - for that I think it may overtake Java. To learn I advise getting videos from lynda.com or similar sites to get the basics down. Then go and find other peoples code and just read it. That is really how most people learn programming not from long winded books they just get stuck in working over code from experienced programmers. Look for books that teach algorithms, design patterns and frameworks or using python for a purpose you need it for (you will NEVER learn everything any language can do so stick to your area of need). You also learn more actually trying to use it for a specific project than always book reading. Python is AWSOME.

Meanwhile, you get to dispense with brackets, begin/end, or similar nonsense. It's a huge win with no downside.
