While maya does use normal python its worth noting that it uses version 2.7 and not 3.x another thing worth mentioning is there are 3 python libraries for maya. maya.cmds is the built in python scripting in maya. pymel is a third party library for writing scripts thats more object oriented. and finally the python API which is used for writing plug-ins. I also recommend learning a little of maya's built in language, MEL. Since all maya.cmds and pymel are wrapping MEL.
