Well, I'm a 100% C++ programmer but I like programming python for prototyping and tools. The answer on your question depends on your requirements. Some are saying that using Java and Swing are the best way to write applications. But nothing is for free except the most languages you can download and install. When you have no idea about software development you should have a look there first. Do you want some little scripting only to get some jobs easier done - well - you're right to use python. However - you should be aware of: When you have learned python a while and when you will be forced to programm C++, Java or C# you have to start again!
