someone very wise (actually, a collegue of mine) once told me to only
learn new things if you need them :-) Either way, there's lots of fun
stuff you can do as a first project...

I'm also a bit new to Python. I had a basic course in JAVA once, tought
myself the (basics) of Perl, Php and finallyh moved to Python. I'm
getting used to it more and more, and am learning new things each time I
use it (many thanks to Thomas Wouters for his patience, and Mark Pilgrim
for writing the `dive into python' book).

I use Python mostly because it makes it very very easy to write readable
code, because it's a very intuitive language, because it's a good way of
learning new things about programming, and mostly because it's fun :-)
