I would certainly recommend learning Python as it seems to be eating everything at the moment and there's no sign of it stopping. Zed Shaw is a controversial figure, but I find that Learn Python the Hard Way works pretty well as an introductory text. Or you can move on to the next one in the series(don't remember what it's called).

Framework-wise, I suggest you try and obtain some certifications - they're pretty important in IT and will help your career quite a bit. I'm not gonna recommend any, but just do some research and see what's relevant to what you want to do. The standardized material that you need to learn tends to be very helpful in terms of obtaining a basic understanding of the subject.
Coursera has some nice introductory Python courses available for free. (You would need to pay if you wanted the certificate and access to some tests-quizzes.) All you need is a browser. "Fundamentals of Computing" (from Rice University) starts from nothing and gives an introduction to Python itself and some algorithms.

Thank you! Python it is, and I will certainly look at the available certifications!
