My suggestion is not to ask not whether your favorite language is dying. Ask why you are so worried about that.
If you plan a career of any length of time technology you will have to up sticks and move to new language countless times. In fact, in some ways doing that is one of your core skills. Embrace it and enjoy it. Perfect your ability to digest and consume a new language complete with its idiomatic quirks and warts and its various ecosystem of tools and frameworks.
In terms of a choice of a language for an actual project, Python is so established that there is basically zero risk in starting a project in Python now. There is exactly zero chance that it's going to be abandoned and you will be left without a viable community of support any time in the next decade. So if Python solves your problem today just use it.
