For you, it'll actually take longer than normal, I think, because you're
highly dependent on the library.  I'd say that if you use Python every
day, you should start to be actually productive in a week or so and you
should start to *feel* productive in about a month.

"In many ways, it's a dull language, borrowing solid old concepts from
many other languages & styles:  boring syntax, unsurprising semantics,
few automatic coercions, etc etc.  But that's one of the things I like
about it."  --Tim Peters on Python, 16 Sep 93
