Planning to use the library

we are not doing any modifications in the source code of the library
GPL, or our application can be made proprietary

I think any python program that uses this library would have to fall under GPL, otherwise it would be published as LGPL or a more permissive license.

I am assuming that is the intent. It is a bit unusual for python modules and libraries in general, but if that is your intent, I respect it even though it is limiting.
