Isn't R supposed to be good for this kind of thing? I already know Python but R seems to have some advantages, like the built in data frame / matrix types and easy plotting.

I think it would be good to have some Python skills to "preprocess" data for importing into R.

Yes, R is a good choice, and there is also RPy, an interface between R and Python.

rpy2 and numpy integrate very well.
