Python rocks - it's certainly a nice easy language to pick up. My first foray into it was a small application that helps me record magazine articles and save them away - python certainly does the job here and it makes it easy to write applications quickly. I especially like the way that you don't have to declare variable types - this takes out a lot of the headache, and yet is intuitive and flexible enough to get stuff done.

All I have to do now is think of project number 2.
