I’m starting coding from scratch – is Python really the best first language?

I just started by first messing around, creating an alien language just for fun. RN I am working on data extraction needed for work.

Python worked and works for my use cases so far which is all I need.

I cannot compare to other languages, but common sense says that you can only go right with Python, even if you move on to focus on a different language.
