That it costs anything is a common misconception:
The Microsoft C# compiler comes for free with Windows.
You can download the Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions for free for a year.
You can download other integrated development enviroments for free (such as SharpDevelop)
You can build C# in Mono for free, which also runs on Linux which is a free OS.
All the MSDN documentation is available for free online.
So altogether, it is highly possible to spend no money and build C# apps.

The problem is that as far as I know, C# isn't anywhere near as portable as python, nor is it anywhere near as open. There are many free python development applications, whereas to write C# requires £300 worth of software.
My vote's cast for python.
