One *week*? More like one day for many classes of problems. What's
important is that often a small program that is not worth implementing
at all in C++/Java is trivial in Python, and so the diffrence is one
b/w doing stuff manually vs. having an automated solution.

Yes. It's important to note that there is absolutely no
lock-in. Python keeps being used because it rocks, not because the
company is stuck with it.
