> Regarding Python is it more feasible to learn version 2 or 3?
Start with v2.7.
Once you've got Python2 down, moving to Python3 isn't that big a deal - if
you understand one, you understand the other, you just need to learn the
new set of gotchas. But you will find a lot of Python2 in circulation, and
some organisations are planning to stay at v2 indefinitely.

I wouldn't - Python has certain "interesting" characteristics, including a
number of libraries that are spectacularly buggy. For admin, stick to
bash, or try perl or something like that...

Sort out the GUI in glade, then pick your supporting language according to
what you want to do.
