You're not wrong but it's a double-edged sword: people's first language leaves a deep impression and people often can't un-write (from their brains) the wrong programming practices they learned from Python.
I've seen people openly admit they'd learn their second language much faster if they didn't try to constantly compare it with Python.
As usual, hindsight is 20/20, and nobody is telling you these things beforehand. And those who are lucky enough to have wisdom shared with them are usually quick to dismiss it and not listen to it.
But isn’t this true no matter the first- and second-language combo? I started out writing C and this definitely influenced how I learned and wrote python code. My colleagues that started out with ruby, or java, also program in distinct ways that show their “accent”, so to say.
