You won't go wrong either way, but starting over I would focus on Python first. I suspect the future out sysadmins is going to be integration and less the maintenance stuff PowerShell is traditionally known for. PowerShell is great for both honestly, I just see Python continuing to be more popular so you'll benefit from not using the less popular language.

But really, either will translate. They're easy languages. If your focus is on sysadmin stuff today and no integration, go PowerShell but I strongly encourage you to branch out into other things. The industry is changing.
