Indeed. It's hard to teach Python as it's idiomatically used in the wild. There's just so much stuff going on (iterators, generators, async, context managers, comprehensions, annotations etc etc), it takes a lot of study/experience to learn it all.

Yes, so the point is that teaching it at all is a choice of style not substance.

Not sure I 100% believe that, but buy-in (and LLM help) are significant parts of a successful onboarding.
