Yes. Learn both.<p>Python is great for system development as it&#x27;s on virtually every platform by default (as is Perl btw), and Node is great for server development.<p>Python is also good for server development, but it&#x27;s not as easy to implement a functional server in Python as it is in NodeJS.<p>The two work together beautifully.<p>I would learn NodeJS first, then python using the flask or bottle frameworks (Django is very good, but also very heavy).<p>Cheers!
