C++ for both making and modding of games, it's practically the industry language fo choice.
Though for around here you want to use c# as it's more accessible, the userbase is predominantly windows based.
Their syntax is fairly similar which makes the transition from one to the other easier, you can essentially 'go pro' with less effort.
Python will be useful for the theory behind programming and while you technically could write an editor out of it, it's just not as suitable as .Net which has full suppor for GUIs and such right out of the box, the userbase has certain expectations of the usability of the tools, you must design them as if you expect the user to be a complete moron.
Some of our more capable members write in a variety of languages no online parser can comprehend, still gets the job done.
We've done experiments with silverlight,asp and some light html5 work, it's all 'meh'.

Its true that its a lot harder for people using python. (honestly when i started two years ago I just thought the name was cool that's why I chose it) I guess its time to go learn some c+++ it shouldn't be too bad. Thanks for the advice guys. Also if you guys know any good places, books, or websites to learn how to use a hex editor I would be very grateful to know.
