Hello everyone!
I'm new here and it is my very first question.

I wand to build own PVR Addon  for Kodi. 
At the Wiki see a good guide for Addons on Python. But at the github all the PVR addon, are written at C++. 

So my question is: 
 -Is the Python an appropriate language for creating the Live TV PVR Addons for Kodi? Or should i start with the C++? 


PS. Both languages are a quite new to me, i have some skills at Java for desktop and Node.js (and related to web)

Thank you for every answer and each tip/point me to right way in this, hard way (at least first steps) of Addon development!
Ok, i see now, that for PVR Addon, need to use the C++ and not the Python. 
Seems the only guide for PVR addons is a link below:

Nice! What type of server do you want to connect to? What will the live/recorded TV source be?

Sat2ip device - Digital Devices Octopus net... There is a PVR, but without the Rec. functionality.
Isn't Tvheadend already able to work with the DD Octopus Net?
