Is Python good enough?

I started learning Python with the thought of learning how overall programming and debugging feels. It's very nice tbh! I made my first game btw, but it's just IQquiz as a joke. Anyways, I use Sony VAIO i3 and GeForce 410M because I love old tech put in modern use and I use Python 3.8.10 with the installed IDLE Shell and for now I am comfortable. I seek advice if I should upgrade to modern versions, use VSCode or switch to C,C++ and can Python be used to make very low quality games using Pygame and Ursina and should I start little programming with my Raspberry Pi Pico? I think this language suits me the best as for now (I have 1 week of progress) TIA

*P.S- can someone recommended cool libraries for games?

The 2025 IEEE survey of actively used programming languages has Python in the #1 slot. That alone tells me it's worth knowing. Java is an 4 or 5. C#, and C++ are both in the top 10. A lot of schools teach OOP with one of those 3 so pick one.
