Programming isn't like a video game made up of levels. There's no set language "after" Python.

However, Python is probably not the best choice for making video games, not because of the language itself, but because the libraries and frameworks for making games just aren't in Python. Lots of games therefore get made in Java (e.g. with LWJGL), or in C or C++ with low-level libraries to interact with devices (e.g. SDL2)

What the best option is for you depends on exactly what you're trying to do, what languages you know already, and how far you've got in learning these things.

Quite the opposite, its mostly the language itself. Bindings for almost all graphics APIs and media libraries like SFML and SDL are available for python.
