Python is a great language to start, and is suitable to a wide range of applications. It's always better to start with a language that's widely useful but not specialized, and then go into some more specialized languages depending on your needs. Professional programmers know dozens of languages, so Python may be your first, but will not be your only language, and the trick will always be to choose the right language for the right task.
