It's entirely up to you, really!

What I'd say is do you think it would harm your development in one or the other if you tried to do both (Python and JavaScript) side by side.

What are your goals for Python and JavaScript? Is there anything you need from Python as a matter of Urgency?

Personally, if Python is important to you, I'd maybe focus on that a but more before your ready to delve into JavaScript a bit more since that is so heavily linked with HTML, and CSS for Front End Web Development.

Hope this helps :)

Nope! You can learn Python without ever knowing JS! (And vice versa, too, if you care.)
