But python tools are not (by default) portable when they deal specifically with OS stuff. The paradigms are too different - you have to spend considerable amounts of time doing 'if os==linux:elif os==windows' if you want portability for that kind of thing.
And to say 'windows is going away' is hilarious - maybe in the Valley, but def. not in big orgs.

Because Windows is going away. Python experience is portable. Your tools have a chance of having some use after your last Windows box is turned off.
Windows on the desktop is going away? Pretty sure it will be around for many many years to come. I say this as a primarily mac household.
That said, yes, Python is a portable skill.
