Before I ever encountered Python, I'd gotten pretty familiar with a wider variety of languages than C, C++, and Java. So if you don't have to learn Python right now, maybe you should first learn Lisp, Haskell, or whatever else you want or need to learn that isn't much like C/C++/Java. I think you'll have more fun this way. :-)
