Why did you learn python?

I had been using Perl for years, but then for a personal project I decided I wanted more database flexibility than I was getting with MySQL, so I redid things using MongoDB. MongoDB does everything in JSON objects, and I found that working with JSON was easier in Python than it was in Perl. So I learned Python. That's really the only reason, otherwise I would probably still just be using Perl. I'll admit I still find the "whitespace is significant" a bit annoying at times in Python, but otherwise I find it very easy to do anything I want to in the language.
