My answer to that is no, but it's specific to my interests and not really related to the language. I am currently learning Elixir with Rust (definitely) and Kotlin (probably) being next. If you don't already know Python, it is still a good skill to have. I love going back to it for quickly prototyping algorithms sometimes, manipulating some files, or other scripting needs. Outside of that, how it fares in the science community and enterprise, I can't give much insight. The version shouldn't matter too much until you have a need for hardly maintained, very specialized libs. The big stuff usually works with Python 3 these days.
