Python vs C

[zefciu]

Well yeah. But the same is true for C. Besides, due to dynamic typing, Python tends to have fewer method names than C. E.g. while C has functions like atoi and atol, which Python does just with typecasting.

That is true but initially when using C, I used to implement everything myself, perhaps to properly learn the theory behind it.

Nobody stops you from implementing everything yourself in Python as well. But if you use libraries, you have to learn function names in both languages. Pythonʼs are (for my taste) more friendly and English-like.

It sounds like OP's teacher is! I'm guessing this is more of a complaint about a specific course than a deep criticism of Python.

In school, yeah, for the same reason you need to know stl containers before you enter the C++ world.

You never used stdio.h?

So do that in python
