How Did You Get Into Python?

You worked for two different F1 teams doing some really neat stuff with Python. How do you get into programming and what brought you to Python? I've always been kind of a techy guy since he was like five or six, just about young enough to remember he got a computer as part of the course. He started showing me how Excel works and how you can do not just the kind of conditions on each cell, but then into VB and stuff like that.
