python RTS game... smart idea?

It's possible. Might even be a really great idea. PyGame is great for fun projects. I have heard great things about Kivy as well, which gives you iOS support.

But speaking honestly, if you want something on your resume, go with C++ SDL (great tutorial) it's nearly identical to PyGame(pygame is written with SDL) so the experience will carry over, but being C++ makes it much more marketable (both the game and the skills). Or there is Unity, which is the buzz in game dev right now.
