I am currently self-teaching myself Python, but I'm not sure if Python (+ Pygame) games can be posted on Newgrounds. All I know is that Newgrounds only accepts Flash games. All I need is a simple yes or no (if it's a no though, could you suggest a good FIRST programming language for me to use which are post-able on Newgrounds?). Thanks! :)

No you cannot.
Newgrounds only accepts Flash games, and they are currently working on accepting HTML5 games. If you are able to make a quality HTML5 game you can PM Tom and possibly have it added, but if it's your first game it probably won't be good enough.
And I wouldn't really recommend ActionScript or JavaScript as a first language for someone to learn. I'd say stick with Python and not worry about being able to submit your games to Newgrounds right now, but, if you're really dead-set on making a game for Newgrounds, I'd say you should first learn ActionScript, and then when you're comfortable with that move on to JavaScript and HTML5.

Thanks for the suggestion! :) I will definitely try ActionScript but for now I'll just continue learning Python since they say it's good for first timers.
