Is it a good idea for a web developer to know a general-purpose language?
<p>My focus is on html,PHP,mysql, javascript, css, ajax because that's what many websites need. I am still new to the web developing scene(only 5months) so I am busy learning all those topics. </p>

<p>My question is whether or not to add a general purpose language, such as Python or Java, to the list. I only played a little with Python so I don't know much about it. But is there anything that Python offers that would help me in terms of web development? (besides django and those frameworks). Examples would be great! </p>
