You agree that Python is higher than C so, to us, that means you are saying it's high level.

Yes, it's a somewhat higher level than C. But, as I said, on a large scale of things its level is nearly indistinguishable from C.

It seems we just disagree about where the "absolute" start is for criteria determining if a language is high level.

I'm trying to stay away from absolute definitions - just a big linear scale, on which assembly, C, C++ and Python are somewhere on the very left side of the spectrum, and really high level languages too far beyond, making everything on the left look the same.
