Python is a general programming language, it can be used to write programs or modules for programs. PHP may be a better choice for you. It is free and open source software to create active web sites, it is written like a layer on top of HTML, so your knowledge of HTML will be a benefit.

As someone who has dabbled in web design, I would definitely recommend PHP as above, and also SQL if you're going to be working with databases (which seems likely if you're mentioning ecommerce).
