C++ or Python for Game Programming

Question

I like to program games scaling from games using print() to full games with pygame. But I still don't know wich one is the best for game programming : Python or C++, and why ?

Answer 1

Python for basic/beginner games. But for the most part c++ is a better option, it's more common, faster and is capable of more. It might be a good idea to play around with Python for a while until you are comfortable then move to c++.

Answer 2

C++ for backend, (physics calculations, rendering, etc) and embedded luaJIT for the front end
