How similar is Python to Unity3D?
My first developer wrote my game in their own custom engine which uses a language very similar to Python. Would a Unity developer be able to understand and write code for that? Or would they have to re-create the entire game in Unity?

Unity isn't remotely like Python, since Unity is a game engine and Python is a language. Although one of the languages Unity uses is Boo, which has a syntax like Python.
Also, yes, you will have to recreate the entire game in Unity, regardless of whether you use Boo or not. The language syntax is completely trivial compared to differences such as the Unity API.
is boo supported anymore though... and ugh python and the lack of semicolons... just using spaces is very dangerous especially if you use weird source control that often truncates line endings
The UnityScript compiler is build on top of the boo compiler. Boo is, unlike UnityScript, a "true" .NET / $$anonymous$$ono language, even outside of Unity. The majority of the Unity users uses C# and UnityScript, but there are a few that uses Boo.
If you like the syntax, feel free to use Boo, but don't expect too much help here ;)
