Yeah commercially an uncommon, poor performance and pretty much forced open-source language isn't really good. (tho possible like eve shows)
I agree that going from python to C is not very easy but going from python to java for example shouldn't be very hard.
Personally I was reading code to understand programs more to use them better years before I ever wrote a single line of code.
So when I got to actually coding my first lines in python, I had already seen almost every other major language.
That's why it was really easy for me to transfer from python to C# for example.
Though in this thread's context, since OP knows python the best and since there is no commercial application made.
I suggest you use what you feel comfortable with. Though remember, learning a new language is never bad.
EDIT:
For the first language part, python is good because it doesn't have stuff like ; at the end of line or { } code blocks or defining variables by type and it handles stuff like longs dynamically for you. Once a person understands the basic principles of coding, it might be a good idea to start learning in another language.
