If you have any programming experience you'll be able to pick up Python in an afternoon. It's a very easy language to learn and you'll be writing useful programs in no time. Sadly I doubt learning it alone will land you a job (which is why I forced myself to learn Java C++ and even PHP), but once you do have that job, there's a 90% chance Python will help you get things done in that job. It's just a really fun and useful language with a huge amount of well written libraries. Check out www.pythonchallenge.com when you know the basics, but be warned it's quite addictive! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
