It is relative.  A low-level language is lower/closer to the
computer's binary code.  C/C++ is a high-level language compared to
assembly.  Python is high-level vs. C/C++.  Python is low-level
compared to "spreadsheet programming", although some spreadsheets like
Gnumeric can use Python extensions.
