Tobias, thanks for offering to write a series, I'd like to offer my (vocal) support and tell you that for me, your series will really hit the spot.
I am someone who wants to learn Python but the reasons to do so need to become more concrete because I simply have so much work to do.
I have to know WHY I should learn it, I've asked this question time and again all over the web and the answers seem to provide an all too fleeting glimpse - but never the solid examples which cause me to go - crikey, thats something I could be doing in Python, if only I could programme in it.
In this post for example you explain not only the differences we will experience with the loss of curly braces, but that you get access to the Pagger library, which is cool.
Maybe further on in this series you could explore and explain how for a PHPer Python is better suited to some tasks than for others - and continue to give examples of what you mean.
Hope it goes well, and you have at least one avid follower.
Go Tobias.
