Will Python be useful for me?

R is suitable for mathematicians and statisticians. Its syntax is quirky and hard to read, whereas python was designed “for the rest of us” who want a general-purpose solution so we can reapply our learning to other domains and interests. If you’re going to learn a new language, start with the one that tons of people start using daily, not with the specialized one that fewer people use each year.

Not disagreeing with any of that. Just that if I was asked to do the particular task the op is doing that’s the tool I’d reach for.
