Probably.  Depends what exactly you're trying to do.

No idea.  Python is probably good for blind people because you usually
write less code in Python -- each statement in Python does more.

No.

Python is different from C.  Python programs to do equivalent work are
almost always shorter than C, but C makes it easier to do low-level
machine manipulation.  Note that it is very easy in Python to make calls
into C libraries.
