Why use Python instead of Perl?

[walterbyrd]

I am learning some perl, I don't know any python. I think perl is a
butt-ugly language, but perl does seem to be functional. Can anybody
answer a few questions about python for me?
 
1) Is python good for system administration tasks?
 
2) Is python good for web development?
 
3) Does python interact well with MySQL?
 
4) Do many web-hosts allow scripts to be written in python? Tons of
dirt-cheap web-hosts have perl scripting, what about python?
 
5) If I know perl, is there any reason to learn python?
 
6) For what is python best suited? 
 
I have programmed in over a dozen languages. I am reluctant to learn
more. I have been learning perl, because it seems to be the only
language that does all that stuff I have mentioned in my questions.
