I think Python 3 is the language for *everybody* to know. It's easy
enough that most people know it, it's got a standard library so
complete that you can do almost anything with just Python 3 and its
standard library. And when you need something special, there's plenty
of that too.

Nowadays, I wouldn't be caught in any profession not knowing Python. I
bet carpenters, Uber drivers, lawyers and network admins of all stripe
can gain from it.
