Recently I woke up inclined to take up the task of learning another programming language. I've already dipped my toes in Perl (I've read online tutorials and wrote a couple of irrelevant pet projects) but, as the computers at my workplace only sport the python interpreter, it probably means that learning python will end up serving me better, at least in the short run. Plus, you know how Perl goes.
So far the decision seems to be a no brainer. Yet, Python 3000 will arrive in a few months. As it isn't backwards compatible with today's Python, there is the risk that no matter what I learn until then, I will end up having to re-learn at least a considerable part of the language. To put it in other words, I fear that I will be wasting my time. At least that is what a clueless newbie believes. As this group is frequented by people who have more insight into all things pythonesque, what are your thoughts on this?
