I want to get started with Python to support some of the stuff the wife and I do online. What's the best interpreter to start out with? I have some schooling in C, C++, and worked with PHP several years ago.

What do y'all think are the benefits of Python over other languages? I'm a long time java coder (and therefore biased ). I messed around learning some Python a bit and came to the conclusion that it's the answer to a question that has never been asked.

Lots of libraries written for it. It's a scripting language that glues together a lot of other work and has found a great deal of use in ML and AI research as a result. Basically it's "how to use a computer" for non SWEs.
All the numeric libraries used by the ML crowd are written in C, Fortran, or C++.
