Capstone Project - Room for Python?

[QueenBee]

Well essentially, that's what I wanted to know, if I already know SQL and perl (just enough to be dangerous), why use Python? What's the advantage of learning it (instead of just hardening the skills I know).

Essentially my objective here to determine if Python is worth learning for this project? I've heard allot about how great Python is and how easy it is, and how it could solve all my problems (can you guess I talked to someone who thinks the world of Python), and it got me looking into it.
