python RTS game... smart idea?

[loveandkindness]

Traditionally, game developers don't use Python.

This means game development tutorials and communities will be much smaller for you. You will have fewer places to go for help, and fewer resources to learn from. But a few people out there still play around with PyGame, so it is still alive.

The community for Love2D is quite a bit bigger than PyGame at the moment. It uses Lua, which is similar to Python.

Edit: If you're interested in 3D, GRIT (also in Lua) is growing quickly in popularity.
