That depends on your perspective. Python, _in my opinion_ much more than C code,
should not be written by beginners, but on the other hand is one of the most attractive
languages for newbies. The language is way _too_ flexible and makes people believe
they know how to code just because they know a couple of more or less sensible concepts
like lambda, list comprehension, *iterator, iterator*int, ...
I observe _really strong_ hammer->nail effects quite regularly...
In the end, there a lot of people who learnt to write unmaintainable code.
I seriously prefer perl-programmers who know what they're doing.
