Yes, I know! I am hooked already! Its such a breeze after doing so much Java 
programming. I just download Jython - the possibilities with this seem 
incredible.

Unlike you, I learned Coldfusion after learning Java first (about 1996). For 
the sake of a couple of jobs I got on and then some training work as a 
Macromedia Instructor, it was okay for a while. But, the work dried up, and 
then the training became in very low demand, so I find myself looking for a 
new 'second language' - Python is it! (Its in danger of becoming my 'first 
language' as I am enjoying it so much!)
