Well, you're going to get a lot of differnt responses. Python is much easier to learn than C++. A lot of things that need to be done in C++ Python already does. THe Python syntax is very clean and easy to pick up. I got an ok handle on the langauge in about a month, and here I am a year or two later still learning the langauge, but that's what will come about with any language you learn.
But I think everyone here would agree Python is much easier to use and program in than C++.
There is also a lot of mixed feelings on object-oriented programming. A lot of people like the power, and the control it gives, and a lot of people hate the idea and just see it as another obstical between them and the code. I must admit though, OOP in Python is not dificult at all.
I think that OOP is more or a programmers prefernce though. Hope this answeres some questions
