For Python you might want to Checkout Panda3D. For Java have a look at JMonkey. Of course, I'm sure you'll find other if you look around.
You've learned both already so just pick the one you like the best, the one you feel most comfortable programming in. Getting stuff done is the most important consideration here.

I've seeen these in the past, but I'm aiming for 2D oriented game programing. Is there any good 2D game engines?
For Java there is SlicK http://slick.cokeandcode.com/ He's working on an Android port for it as well (right now it works for stand alone and applet). And for Python I can recommend pyglet. I've used it for making two games for pyWeek. They are both hardware accelerated
Edit: Btw I would recommend NetBeans as Java IDE

The only bad thing about [Python] is that its syntax isn't enforced. Like one module might write some functions this way and the next will do it differently.
Wait… what? I fail to see how that's not a universal problem. In fact, Python's significant whitespace makes its syntax more "enforced" than most popular languages.

Can I run SlicK on Macintosh and am I allowed to sell my game?

Yes the whitespace, but the naming of functions, class naming isn't enforced like you see in C# for example. In Python you can def class Foo, the somewhere else you might soo class foo, etc.
