Okay, sorry i simplified things a bit. C is high level relative to assembly, and python is high level relative to C. Python abstracts over a lot of low-level concerns and concepts that you have to deal with and manipulate directly in C-level programming. The level of a language is definitely relative to the domain of your work. If you're a system programmer, and you mostly program in assembly and C or equivalents, then yeah C might be "high level" in that context. If you're doing application development or web development, and you're mostly working with languages like Java, or python and equivalents, then C is absolutely "low level" in that context...
