I'm sorry, but this is a pretty irritating type of question, something I would cheer to be closed if it were on StackOverflow.
Some of the greatest living programmers are using Python to demonstrate and build amazing things, and you have the nerve to ask people to prove to you why you should "give my time to the language?". On one hand, you're right not to just follow something just because everyone else seems to be doing it. Life is short, you can't just walk down every path that appears to be open. On the other hand, you are asking people to use up their short lives explaining to you something that would better be found on your own.
You're a developer. You already know the purpose of code and how to get started in it, in any language. You also live in the age of the Internet, where learning and trying new things in the programming world costs little more than time, thanks to the herculean efforts of open-source programmers who tirelessly make coding more comfortable for the rest of us.
The kind of question you ask is understandable from someone who has never programmed before. But to be a working programmer and to ask that kind of thing? Seriously?
