Idk. Python is just as bad as C / C++, with the downside that you cannot do much of the interesting stuff one would need to if they wanted to learn how to make databases, if they use Python.

Both C and Python are very "approachable" if you ignore the bad language design, inconsistencies and other "gotchas" and only take the "easy" parts, disregarding edge cases. However, with C you could at least have a fighting chance to learn how to do things right, but with Python you'll never even know what the real thing is like.
