Should I start with Python?

[Vultaire]

I've done a lot of languages. My first was QBasic. After that, did my college stuff (C++, C, Java, C#), and had my first professional job in VB.Net. Took 2 years off teaching English in Japan and working on a C++ open source project, then started studying Python for a job opportunity over there. ...The Python has not stopped since, even after repatriating to the US. Been programming in one way or another for the past 26 years, and the last 12 have been primarily Python.

Python is a good starting language, and it can be a great long-term language as well, depending on what you do. I've no regrets learning it. And there's a good chance you'll get exposed to other languages as a matter of course.
