Planning to use the library
licensed under GNU Library General Public License v2
we are not doing any modifications in the source code of the library
GPL, or our application can be made proprietary
can you please more insights into this...

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.
