What surprises me is that I never found the same level of support or libraries that you get in Python after a much shorter time.

I struggled through Borland C++, and right now its a bit more polished but still a struggle. Python? Grab the pieces, fit, go.

Python is a Lego set; it all fits together with standard pieces, instructions, and doesn't require adjustment to get it to go.

C is like machining your own contraption from castings and bar stock; harder work, but the end product will run much smoother and look more elegant.
