You're right on that part, but this project requires to convert an already built product from Java to Python.
So, if I was getting to develop something from scratch, or create something, I wouldn't have given much thought. But this project might not give me that privilege to think that much when it comes to logic.

As @Kasey Speakman stated; frameworks dont matter; the language/s do. You know JS now and that is a solid foundation. Since it is the foundation of client side technologies. In my opinion learn Python. Not only is it an excellent language for data science based logic it is also a very easy to pick up server side language. Just be sure to understand 2.x VS 3.x changes.

Never pass up the opportunity to learn new skills. Skills make you valuable.

I wonder about the value proposition of using slightly different tools in exactly the same way. Surely the result won't be much different... the same result that needs a rewrite now. :)
