Depending what kind of career or what you want to do python is a nice language to know since it can be used for multiple things but c++ is good if you want to get into the gaming industry plenty of work for both languages just look into both and learn the one you think you can learn the quickest
I think Python it's easy to start with, since it's an interpreted language and you can easily edit and view the code. I like C# so I would recommend that, but like the other reply says, C++ is good if you want to get into the industry (with the exception if they work with Unity, that uses C#).
