Either the teacher's students are extremely bright, or the teacher is somewhat ignorant of Python's capabilities. Metaclasses, first class functions, generators and the like are not concepts I'd have thought were easy to wrap one's head around. Still, it seems something of a compliment that the basics of Python are considered to be so easy to learn
If Python is "too easy", I'd suggest taking a look at something like Haskell. That's a pretty involved language.
