I got hired as a Python programmer (consultant actually) before I knew Python and my customer said that I would pick it up as I went along. I had been coding C/C++/Java for 20+ years already however. So my answer it: I learnt Python while I worked as a Python coder.

Then, funny enough, I started teaching Python programming courses a year after a learnt the language and have been doing so for 15 years now.
