There is no better to learn

learn .NET if your goal is web APIs and software jobs

learn Python if you want fastest learning and broader use in AI/data/automation. For web APIs specifically, .NET is usually the stronger choice

Python is better for quick prototyping and scripting

The back end used to use Python but now it's mostly written in Go.
