Right, as I guessed earlier in the thread; the difference is in the books,
not the languages. Python is easier to learn than C++. Your C++ book is
however better for beginners than your Python book. My friends experience with
"Learning Python" is similar. I should get her one of the other Python
books that are better for absolute newbies, I guess.
