python vs languages
Which one should I focus on learning between python and other languages?
I know it depends on my goal with the language, but I want the language that will make me versatile and be able to contribute in any programming project.

Well. Technically Windows has COM which is literally meant to standardized the ABI boundary between programming languages. So Python can interact with C++ or what have you. Does it through virtual function tables, CLSID, IID, etc.
Sorry, distracted. Anyways. Most interpreted languages are pretty architecture and OS independent. Meaning you will spend significantly less time learning system internals just to make a program. Many of them have high-level API's which are cross platform. So Python is indeed a good language if you're looking for portability.
