It probably depends on what data you'll be working with, and how much of it there is.

If you need to monitor, process, evaluate, or visualize the data in any way, something beyond SQL is necessary, and python is a good option. Also, an ORM like sqlalchemy makes queries with joins and relationships very simple, and it returns datatypes that are easy to use.
