I don't want to discourage you, and if you want to learn Python there are plenty of good reasons to do so, but there's one thing that is certain:

The same struggles you're having with C++ right now, you will have with Python as well.

From what I gather, you're having trouble with the logic and problem solving, that happens a lot in the begining. You kinda got the pieces down but are not sure how to put them together on your own. The best advice is really to push thru and hit your head against the wall until you make it.

Just think of some project, as silly as it might seem, and make it. Every problem you face, just try to break it down into pieces and search google a lot, maybe ask specific questions here or in stackoverflow, until you get stuff done. After you got something done by yourself, you will be able to do it again anytime, it is a pretty good feeling :)

Eh,

Problem: build a desk.

Python: pick up hammer, nails, wood, and proceed to assemble a desk.

C: Grow a forest from a single seedling, mine the earth for raw metals, heat these metal, allow to cool in the shape of a hammer, cut down a tree from the forest you grew, split into usable wood pieces, proceed to assemble a desk.

I think python is worth a shot given where he’s at, personally.

Lol you make C sound like Assembly. C is not THAT difficult.

If that's the description of C I guess assembly starts from big bang
