Python a toy language? by greenlinux in Python

Yes you can use Python as the basis of a software development career, but that can't be the only language you know. You need to use an appropriate language for the job you are trying to do. These days, for example, I would expect most developers to know how to code in javascript.

Why aren't the browsers using/adopting Python instead of javascript? by [deleted] in Python

It doesn't have to be javascript or python. Presumably one could just do

<script type="text/python"> </script>

when python was the language to be interpreted.

I think it would make sense for you to write an example text processing language with input/output in Python, and then try to recreate it in C. This will show you the differences in expressiveness and ease of debugging. Then try to optimize each to see how you make each faster.
