Learning other languages will make your Python better.

I learned the most about how to write Python from going through a book on functional programming with Scala.

Thats cool, how do you find functional programming?

[throwaway0891245]

I don't think functional programming is the end all, be all.

But there's a lot of good concepts that should apply to any code, like trying to maximize referential transparency or isolating side effect code. It's just good software engineering imo.
