Kelley,
I don't know if your client is willing to pay for a week or two
of non-productive time, but I think a good Perl programmer with
web development experience could pick up Python in a week, and a
good Java or C# programmer could pick it up in two weeks.
I've personally always believed that, when comparing a good
programmer with no specific experience in a particular language,
and an average programmer with lots of experience, the good
programmer will outperform the average one in any task lasting
more than a couple of months.
Of course I haven't always been able to convince managers of
that.
