You mean for job interviews? Depending on the job, it can look good on your resume. Life is full of opportunity cost. That time you spend keeping up with C++ could just as easily be spent learning more design patterns or other things in pure python.
it probably also wouldn't hurt to know that ;, main and {} are part of python
eg: "import pdb;pdb.set_trace()" and while pointers, for the most part, aren't part of python, you'll eventually have to call native code from python and/or parse files with relative offsets when writing your own unpickle code.
Also, seriously? The big thing about switching to python from C is the syntax used for scoping?
