Is python really worth the pain or should I just skip it ?
Given that you already invested your time into learning all of the above
(which basically cover about 1 1/2 of several main corners of
programming), I think you should really take some time off to unlearn
some of the bad habits that these particular languages tend to teach
you. Python is a truly good way to do that.
My advice: don't spend too much time reading books. Pick a task that
sounds like fun to implement and give it a try with Python. Some would
propose exercises from project Euler for this or maybe pygame, but
you'll likely have your own idea about what's fun and what isn't.
+1 for jumping into coding. You seem to have enough experience in
programming generally. With Python the fun comes with the experienced
productivity. At least, that was the case with me.
Learning the syntax is not the deal, but how to design your app. You can
use the best of OO, functional and procedural programming.
Also, Python is to me the best general purpose language. You can create
little helper scripts, web apps and rich client apps with PyQt or WxPython.
