Python is fun (useless social thread) ;-)

[John Salerno]

I have to say, I'm having a very enjoyable time learning and using 
Python. I spent a year playing around with C# and I feel like I 
learned/know less about it than I do about Python from just the past 
couple of months. Of course it's easier, but there's just something 
about it that makes me keep coming back to it and try to think of new 
ways to use it.

Lately I've started to branch away from the "core" Python and I started 
learning internet/cgi programming, then a little with mysqldb (which 
involved a detour into learning some MySQL query commands), and now I'm 
fiddling with wxPython. My next goal is PyGame.

So out of curiosity, I'm just wondering how everyone else came to learn 
it. If you feel like responding, I'll ask my questions for easy quoting:

Did you have to learn it for a job?

Or did you just like what you saw and decided to learn it for fun?

Also, how did you go about learning it? (i.e., like I described above, I 
started with the main stuff then moved on to the different available 
frameworks)

Was there any necessity in the specifics you learned, or did you just 
dabble in something (e.g. wxPython) for fun?

Are there still some things you feel you need to learn or improve?
