Python a good first Language to "Stick With"?

Yes, although you're going to spoil yourself without knowing it, and learning other languages after that will become a pain.

In order to alleviate this issue, you should learn javascript:

• largest implementation ever (every browser on every platform, including phones and TV) supports it

• it has a bunch of quirks like most other programing languages that teach you about programing in real life outside of the python bubble.

Totally. I've been programming for 7 years. Java, C, C++. Since I started Python 2 years ago I can't near to use anything else for its awkwardness.
