why should I learn python

2007-09-06 Thread windandwaves 
Can someone tell me why I should learn python?  I am a webdeveloper,
but I often see Python mentioned and I am curious to find out what I
am missing out on.

Thank you

Nicolaas

Hmmm, thank you all for your replies.  I will do some research on the
net (i did some already, but because I am really not much of a
programmer, it is often too detailed for me).  I have limited time,
but it does sound like something to learn, just for fun and for
practical use.  How would you use it in a web development
environment?  I mean, in real practical terms.  Could it assist with
php? Is it easy to write GUI programs in Python?

I get that feeling - yes.  Question is:

1. what is it good for?
2. why is it so good?

I would love to hear some opinions.

Cheers
