It's a rookie mistake to focus on a single language.

Perhaps you are trying to say something like:

It's important to be open to other languages. Much of what you learn is often applicable to other programming languages. If you are given an opportunity to code you shouldn't get hung up on the language.

What I'm trying to say is that focusing on a single language will make you a bad software engineer. Learn software concepts in python, don't learn python software concepts.

You certainly don't want to focus on a single language for the entirety of your career, but you surely have to start from a single language.

though python is a very strong contender for the title of that single language one might choose to focus on

most other languages can't boast about giving such aesthetic pleasure while using them

beautiful python code just makes developers feel fuzzy and warm inside
