If you are curious about it then, for all means, try it. I used to work with the .NET stack at work while on my own time I hacked with Linux and C++. I got curious about Python and Django and decided to create some small personal projects to learn it. After a while I found ut that I couldn't stand it doing web development with ASP.NET MVC after learning Django.

One day at work there was a small project to be done and since it was a quick project and I was one of the only programmers involved with it I proposed Django for the task. The project was a success and everybody that got involved with it loved it.

Then came another project with an insane deadline and I said: "There's no way we can do this in .NET with this deadline, if it was to be done in Python I could deliver it on schedule...". The result? Another success case with Python.

Nowadays, my company has it's own product (developed in Python as the ease to use was what inspired the product) and we are using more Python than .NET. My company was a 100% .NET company but everybody fell in love with Python and Python, combined with Django and other open source modules enabled us to do some amazing things that were just not feasible with .NET.
