Making a 2D game

Hey guys, I'm thinking of starting a mini project to make a 2D game. I know a fair bit of python and about the pygame module.

I'm just wondering if python(with the pygame modules) is a good language for making something like this.

If not, what would be more suitable?

I've got a bit of VB/C/Java experience, but not much.

Windows is fine except for all the bloat
SICP is fine except for all the bloat
GUI is fine except for all the bloat
Java is fine except for all the bloat
C is fine except for all the bloat
