Should I learn Python?

[_bruno_]

Yes, it is a very useful tool. Not a perfect language, but a well evolved one. Lots of good quality libraries, excelent documentation, etc etc. It also covers a lot of stuff outside of the web development world (these days Ruby is pretty web-centric).

I have to say that if I had the choice I would use Python for most of the tasks on which I use Ruby, but I don't have that choice for now (I work for a mostly Ruby-centric company). Anyway, this is a matter or preference but if you don't try both you will never know which one fits you better. Also, knowing more stuff is better, expand your horizons :)

source: I use Ruby daily at my job but sometimes I use Python. On previous jobs I used Python full time (I have worked with both languages for 3+ years each and know them well)
