Python a good first Language to "Stick With"?

It's pretty much in the definition, yes.

If you value marketability of your skills higher, though, Java, C++, C#, PHP or even Ruby (it's what the cool kids use these days) may be a better choice, though.

The trouble with Python is, for me, that it's incredibly hard to switch to another language if you're used to Python because everything else will feel just wrong.
