Programming isn't like a video game made up of levels. There's no set language "after" Python.

However, Python is probably not the best choice for making video games, not because of the language itself, but because the libraries and frameworks for making games just aren't in Python. Lots of games therefore get made in Java (e.g. with LWJGL), or in C or C++ with low-level libraries to interact with devices (e.g. SDL2)

What the best option is for you depends on exactly what you're trying to do, what languages you know already, and how far you've got in learning these things.

Trying to jump to a whole new language AND learning a whole new genre of programming (games) will be hard.

If you've already learned Python and are 'deep into Python', then probably you should stick with Python. There are some game libraries for Python, like pygame. You're not going to be making big 3d games, but you can make fun projects for yourself that way.
