Your assumption that Python is some sort of a magical entity that when one touches it transforms a bad programmer into a genius is so childish.
Oh, yeah, such a notion would be childish.

It's of course not true. Programmers don't go from evil to good by just touching a language, no, sir! Instead, the choosen language is a function of the programmers alignment. Good programmers choose Python. Evil programmers choose Perl. There's a scale of good to evil languages: (good) Python - .Net - Java - C - Ruby - C++ - Intercal - PHP - Perl - Perl6 (evil). Look at the language of choice, and one can instantly see whether a programmer is good or evil. Python programmers are cheerful, care for the environment, help cross old ladies across the street, write maintainable programs, and have a good sense of humour (Python is named after Monty Python after all). Perl programmers are grumpy, steal candy from babies, don't care about the environment (just look at all the flying around the world to attent their navel staring so-called "conferences"), write unreadable programs, and wouldn't recognize an ironic post if beaten to death with it. But what would you expect from a language created by a man who is dull enough that he first had to read the dictionary cover to cover to find a name for the language. After trying out his wife's name, and then picking a name already taking by someone elses language. Evil language, evil programmers.
