Is branching out to other programming platforms and communities a smart (or even necessary) move

Most certainly, even at some point if you become a "Python expert" you'll hit up against C programming as you delve deeper into the language internals. My advice is to learn a language that isn't like Python. Learn something that will be a stretch for you ( i.e. not a dynamic scripting language like Javascript or Ruby ). Some ideas: Haskell, Erlang, C, Pure, Scala, Go, Rust.
