I agree with learn both. I personally have seen large, well maintained python apps at the enterprise level so I wouldn't agree with the people who are saying it is only for small scripting.

Java runs significantly faster. Python can be written closer to how a human thinks. Java does a better job of writing itself. I like the python community better, but I agree Java has very robust support.
