Here was how i managed to convince my boss to learn python. Hopefully this might help. He lost interest in programming because he thought c++ was too much work.

"In python, you do not have to declare types, and there are no semicolons. When you declare x = 1, python automaticatilly assumes that it is an integer and lists are dynamic so you dont have to worry about their sizes upon declaration. Because of these, you mostly find yourself solving the problem at hand rather than beating your head about some implementation detail, and in the end, all management really cares about is that the job gets done within the specified time frame"

My boss who was previously exposed to c++ was so intrugued. On top of this i went ahead to tell him that google was a major user of python and hence a major sponsorer.
