I think a more accurate question would be "how long does it take to learn python so I don't have to look stuff up constantly". Knowing any language completely is nigh impossible unless you designed it yourself. However, I must say that learning Python so that you can just start programming well without always going for help is quite easy. I would think it would take 1-3 months depending on your ability to suck in information and the amount of time you actually program. As I understand it, the top languages are still Java and C++, with COBOL being a major player in insurance/business environments. I would recommend pretty much any web language as more and more is heading towards the online world. Thus, Java/Javascript, PHP, Perl, CSS, CGI, etc are good to know.
