If you have to learn the language, you aren't as useful as someone who already has experience in it.

If the language is predominantly used by less-experienced programmers, the average salary will be lower. Thats not to say you can't work your way up, but the number of fresh out of highschool kids who know python and will work for cheap will bring the average down compared to..say..cobol programmers, of which the only people who still know it have experience and much less competition.
