hi,
Construct was designed to be the gateway to programming, not backwards, but if you learn any programming language you will understand the conditional thinking Construct is promoting, so it will help.
I don't know about python and usage with construct, but i think javascript will be more compatible with Construct as Construct is javascript based on what i seen so far, on the SDK for plugins and behaviors.
But then any programming language can be converted to work with Construct, of course you will have to re-write and translate the code from python to javascript or Construct sdk language.
Hope it helps.
