Pretty much what you could do in C++ but faster.
(ie you spend less time writing code)

Look at the Python advocacy pages on the python.org 
web site...

http://www.python.org/doc/Intros.html

Then try the Instant Python 6 page tutor to get a 
flavor of it.

Then work through the tutorial that comes with the 
documentation. As a C++ programmer you should have few 
problems bar a slight culture shift as you get used 
to dynamic typing and heterogenous collections.
Oh yes and no public/private/protected sections 
- don't worry its not as dangerous as you might think! 

Any questions, we're right here to help :-)
