In my opinion, absolutely unequivocally not. Each programming languages has a huge range of pros and cons. Each programming language (and standard library) is good at expressing certain things and bad at others. Ability to easily write very difficult-to-decipher code is something C/C++ is better at than some other languages such as Python. I'm sure that anybody who has really learned a few very different programming languages well (having written and worked on a few tens of thousands of lines of code in each) would agree. In my mind I do not view Python is "the best programming language for everything" any more than I view my impact driver as the best tool in my toolshed for everything. (Though impact drivers are pretty awesome.)
