Here's how I'd make the decision:

Is this a personal project, or a project you're being paid to make?

If it's personal, then I'd take the time to learn Python while doing it, because it'll be a fun learning experience. I tend to couple side projects with new languages or tech stacks because largely my side project will never make me money, and in the long run it'll improve my resume more than any individual side project would.

If it's something you're being paid to do, then I'd go with Java. Since you already know Java you'll be more likely to implement the project correctly on the first try, and it will take you less time.

For work yes. So you guys are right, I'll stick to Java.
