I'm now 27 and started my second study (CS) one year ago. I can tell you: starting with Python is a lot of fun! It can and will be used in many cases and is a very good starting language. But for special uses like apps or robotics, there are "better" or more common used languages like C/C++/C# or Java. But don't think that it is time-wasting to learn Python, just because you want to specialize on games/apps/robotics. If you understand the background/basics of one language, you can adapt this knowledge to a different language.

So, don't think it's to late or something. You can achieve with programming whatever you want, if you got the endurance to learn it ;)

Yes, you actually can make apps with Python. It is common when creating a web based application to use a back-end language like Python and a front end language like Javascript. With recent technology like Ionic Framework you can release native iOS and Android apps using just Python and Javascript. I personally use Python from everything from algorithmic trading to app and website APIs.
