How easy is it to learn?
That depends on your definition of "easy" :), it's somewhere between javascript and C, but slightly more towards the javascript end I would say, with a syntax that resembles Pascal or VbScript more than it does C

Some specifics to be aware of is that there are significant differences between Python 2 and Python 3, which are enough to make them two distinct languages (see http://www.webdesignforum.com/20181-js-libraries.html#post88794 )

For me, the reason for using Python is that it is a 'native' language for Linux operating systems and as I do not run any M$ Windows machines any "desktop" scripting I need to do is going to be Perl or Python.

For web processing ... Python is 'neater' than PHP, with regards to the function syntax and naming.
