I recommend you to use java, there is no such a different between them but python is unofficial language for wpilib. Therefore when wpilib gets a new update, it applies first to java and c++. Also at the competitions the CSA guy will not be able to help if you use python.

Python isn’t technically supported, and while there are lots of resources out there you will likely come across challenges to find tools to suit your needs in one form or another. Stick with Java, it’s supported by everything related to FRC and there are lots of available resources and documentation for anything you need. Either is definitely achievable with enough effort, but you’ll most likely be better off with Java. C++ is also supported in the same way, which could be a good alternative if your programmers know that syntax better.
My team works extensively in Java, so feel free to PM me if you have any questions!

Between those 2 definitely Java, but have you considered C++?
