It didn't work well in my case. I still use Python for "tons of things" but it didn't change the attitudes of my co-workers towards learning a new language. It just changed my status as a programmer inside of the department. And remember: Python is still cutting edge as a language but sub-standard when it comes to tool support i.e. you do not have to introduce just a language but a different culture of programming as it is common sense now.
