If it makes you feel better about your choice...
I read that UC Berkley and MIT now teach Python in their computer
science intro classes.
Also Google, Facebook, Instagram, Spotify, Netflix, Dropbox, and Reddit
use Python in their production.
You can be pretty confident that Python is a great choice for beginners,
but it's not a toy either.

The following is just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt.
I think for beginners, you need to start with something easy and something with
lots of resources so that you can get answers from simply googling.
For that reason, I would also recommend Python!
Python has many modules, so you don't have to reinvent the wheels For example,
WXPython are good to create native cross platform UI.
Pyinstaller lets you package your code into executable, so you can easily
distribute.
In my opinion, C and C++ are flexible, but the learning curve is too steep for
beginners. You would need tons of will power and right guidance. Otherwise
beginners would easily give up.
Python is like you start learning how to play baseball by playing right away,
whereas c/c++ you first learn about physics of parabola, Aerodynamics, and so
on before you can go out to the field.
Again, just my two cents.
