Joost explained well what's going on.  In addition,
just in case it still isn't clear:

You're using only _one_ FILE arg, "python".  The 3
other args you pass correspond to the &rest arg (aka
&body defmacro arg), BODY.  So BODY is the list of
actual args: ((progn...) 'elpy (pyenv-activate...)).

Before macro `with-eval-after-load' was added, users
sometimes forgot to quote (or otherwise generate) the
second arg to the _function_ `eval-after-load' (and it
is a single arg, FORM, not an &rest list of args BODY).

That was the main reason `with-*' was introduced: for
convenience because 99% of the time FORM was a quoted
sexp, and sometimes users forgot the quote char.
