I'm currently learning Python, but right now I'm interested in animating the motion of things like projecticles, bouncing balls, etc.

What language is good for doing stuff like this? And are there any add ons for Python that allow this?

Thank you kind sir!
 
Hmm learning a graphic library would be good ,, for example OpenGl or DirectX
