This.

While there is great community support for it, you may not have much luck from the event volunteers if something goes sideways at competition.

That said, if you have a team with strong Python skills and is willing to accept that possibility, or another local Python team that would be willing to help, I would definitely look into it.

If you're starting from scratch, with no base of experience, Java would be my suggestion. Our team went from 1 programmer last year (a then-Junior) to a group of 11, and we've spent each week since mid-Sept doing a crash-course in Java before our offseason event in November.
