If it isn't a long-term commitment then I think it could be a helpful learning experience even if you never (hopefully?) use the technology again.
In 2004 I had to build a data collection app using MS Access to help a law firm client prepare for a trial. It actually ended up being the best tool for the job because they were operating in a Microsoft environment, the app was a throwaway and Access was a quick means to an end, in this case a self-contained GUI front-end and (in its own way) relational back-end.
It was fun not to care about the technology choice and to instead focus entirely on building a professional-grade application.
And if you're getting paid to learn something new, that's pretty cool too, and provides more perspective when returning to Python or whatever.
