scripting is programming. It refers to programming with a scripting language, but scripting languages are a type of programming language.
The only real difference between a scripting language and a compiled language, is that scripting languages are compiled and executed at run time. Compiled languages are compiled which generates an executable file.
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:
have fun guessing where your crap starts and stops
That is all.
I know what you mean about the Python thing
Also while we're talking about Java, if you were to get into the world of malware creation Java is a great language, due to how Java works Anti-Virus programs can't touch the Java bytecode - this basically makes your malware fully undetectable.
I've never tested this theory; I read it somewhere and it makes sense to me - Sorry if I'm wrong.
