That seems like a framing of the issue designed to get a particular kind
of answer. Why frame it that way?
Why is the above forumlation better than, for example:
Python is, of course, a language based on the English language. So,
to define the challenges of Python is to define the challenges of
the English lexis and grammar.
For one thing, I don't agree that Python is “a language based on a lower
level”. A lower level of what? Python doesn't have any particular “lower
level”. Its *implementations* do – each implementation wraps around
different lower levels – but you're talking about the language, aren't
you?

Perhaps you'd like to present what you think the answer to this question
is, and we can discuss that.
