I myself come from an ASP/PHP/ASP.NET C# background in web development. I started learning Python for other reasons than web development at first, but now it's my preferred language for web development. Coupled with Django, it's simply the fastest way I know to develop a dynamic web site, and the best thing is that once you get around the somewhat unique syntax, it makes more sense than any other language too. At first I did start learning Ruby on Rails, but Python just felt better for me. Developing applications for Google App Engine in Python also feels pretty natural (in some ways, it's very similar to Django, actually), but it's a work in progress so I expect it to get even better with time. So yes, I definitely recommend you to spend the extra time and learn Python, even if you decide to use the unannounced runtime in the future.
