Yes Python is definitely a programming language, I write in C/C++/C#/Python/Bash each language has its areas where they are best.
I prefer Python for DevOps related code and writing smaller programs/tools.
You just get so much handed to you with Python’s toolbox, it just makes things easier, you can use it as a scripting language or write a modular object oriented program.
I use C/C++ when performance matters and I want things to be Done right TM, and make sure to use all the help the compilers and static code checkers can give.
Bash is a programming language… honestly it’s like rectangles and squares - all scripting languages are programming languages but not all programming languages are flexible enough to be commonly considered scripting languages.
Python is a virus
I’ll bite, which programming language should people use instead of Python?
Well, obviously, we should all exclusively program in Haskell.
reject high level programming and reurn to assembly
I would say Erlang but hey if you are in a Haskell mood then by all means.
Except for the parts where you need something like Rust, that would be an improvement.
Python is considered a programming language? I still classify it as scripting lol
That said, i’d personally use good old c/c++ or even c#/.net over python lol

Python is just scripting language over C. Change my mind
cpython yes, but not ironpython or jython :-)

C# “compiles” to intermediary bytecode, then ran in a vm. Same as Java. I’d say that’s no better than a “scripting” language with a JIT.
I wouldnt say a vm (as there is no emulated hardware layer around the running code ) , but sure you made a valid point actually!
