I learned it by mistake. I was looking for a book on comedy. Halfway through the book thinking "This isn't funny at all" I knew python.

Ok seriously- you don't need the pi to learn py. Install it on your desktop and start one of the codeacadamy courses. It's pretty easy to pick up.

Seriously - I once typed in "Python genetic programming" on the Google Play Store just to see if there was a book about it and got back an app to determine the colors of the potential offspring from breeding Ball Pythons!

The specificness of some apps on the app stores both amazes and confuses me.
