scripting and programming hybrid? wat?
scripting is programming. It refers to programming with a scripting language, but scripting languages are a type of programming language.

Both compiled and scripting languages are programming languages.
If you're looking for a scripting and compiled language hybrid, learn java. It's compiled into bytecode that is compiled and executed at runtime by the jvm.
However, since you've chosen python as your first language, I'd like to say:
