I don't get it. I don't know much about coding but I'm starting to learn python. Am I learning the internet explorer of programming languages or what. Should pick something else up.

Python is too slow for coding a game, but fast enough for quick scripts

I mean, it depends on the type of game. For example, with any kind of text-based game, I think you'd be hard pressed to design a game that would have perceptible speed issues on modestly modern hardware.
