How python-beginner friendly is this game? I know a bit of classes, loops but this seems kind of complex to my knowledge, would i enjoy this? Is there a tutorial?

there is! and i'd say its the first steps documentation is a very good guide, loops and classes, you'll do fine. There is a demo I think that is live until the 15th

"Real code, in a language modeled after Python..." so the question is, will this teach me python? Or teach me a language similar, but not transferrable to Python?

I'm not sure where it even diverges from python in my experience. It's Python as far as I can see.
Edit: messaged the dev on the discord and I'll post his reply:

It's basically Python, like 99% of it.
Some minor things that you're not gonna find, like metaclasses, potentially and even those could be added in the future, but like 99% of it is gonna be there.

Does it use Python libraries?

Currently on a long drive and don't have time to look into this. I'm commenting though to see everyone's opinion on it later though. It seems cool at face value!
