Yes, this is true, but he was asking to use Python *instead* of the
Arduino
language. I really don't think it's too hard to learn the language,
it's
really straightforward.
I'll echo that sentiment. Just following the tutorials you can pretty
much
figure out everything you need to know. It's basically a simplified
version
of C++.
caveat, if you don't know C or C++ there is a huge mountain of things to
learn in migrating from Python. If you already know any C-like langfuage
then the Arduino language is straightforward but from Python alone
you suddenly have braces and semi colons and type definitions and
a welter of other details to learn and understand.
I've only browsed the docs so am no expert but it looks like a pretty
close clone of C with some C++ bits added. But thats a big jump
from Python.
But arguably to get the most out of a tool like Arduino you probably
do need a language like C vthat is conceptuially closer to the machine
than to the user....
