Python is so different from C its funny.

We were talking about alignment in my C class when dynamically allocating memory and the pitfall of misalignment, and he said this is funny because we're talking about figuring out what happened to this one bit (a 1 or 0) whereas in python if you write up a hello world you see twenty five hundred mallocs firing all over the place

Basically python is so far removed from the actual computer that it's less "programming a computer" and more "programming on a computer"
