So installation should be easy. Don't forget to get the documentation too, sometimes its a separate download on Linux. What you can do? It can replace a lot of shjell scripting for administrative tasks. It can create small tools, analyze text, or even create fiull blown applications.It depends on how skillful you become and how much time you have. Take a look on sourceforge for Python based projects. That should give you an idea of the potential. And visit the beginners pages of the Python web site for more info about Python and tutorial links to get you started.
