Python is actually a back-end language, and Front-end is, well, front-end!
Back-end is for processing data, and front-end is more for web interface.

Front end involves using HTML, CSS and JavaScript to create the visual portion of a web app which shows up in the client's browser. If you are interested in the visual aspect of programming, then front end might be the better path to pursue.
Back end work involves creating code on the server side which performs functions such as user authentication, CRUD funtions for a database, etc. With frameworks like Django (for Python) you can actually have the server dynamically create the view (i.e. the front end) as well.
From my limited understanding, front end jobs are not as easy to come by and pay less than back end positions, so that would be one thing to consider as well.
(NOTE: If I have given any incorrect information in my response, I encourage someone to correct any errors I might have made.)
