Can I use Blender to learn Python?

Question

I have used Blender3D for sculpting and modeling and I know the whole program is built on python. There is also a Python scripting API along with other goodies. Here is the list:

Ability to port your models to any third-party game engine
Create or code your own game logic
Full Bullet Physics integration
Python scripting API for advanced control and AI
Support for all OpenGLTM dynamic lighting, toon shading, animated materials as well as Normal and Parallax Mapping
Playback of games inside Blender without compiling or preprocessing
3D spatial audio using OpenAL

My question is can I use the API to follow tutorials or should I use another program?

Yes, I'm striving to become a game dev. And yes, I'm still confused and still trying to figure out what is a compiler and what is an enterpreter, although Im slowly getting my head around it all.
