Regarding learning python to learn JS: I applied for my first job with basic knowledge in Java, only to start writing in Ruby (which I have started learning once my contract was signed). I think that learning object-oriented programing is always a good point to start. But if you're sure that you want to be a front end developer, there is probably no point to take the longer path to that goal - simply start with JS.
