How do you know what kind of "understanding" a python has? Why python and not a lizard? Or a bird? What method do you use for evaluating this? Does a typical python do what you tell your ai agent to do?...
C'mon, this comparison seems to be very, very unscientific. No offense...
I'm pretty sure parent poster meant they understand Python, the programming language, not that they have the understanding of the animal python.
