The whole point of the Blub Paradox is that you, from your perspective, perceive pointers and such as "basics", whereas someone who is ACTUALLY new to programming does not want or need them. And I can say this for certain because I frequently work with people who have never written a line of code in their lives. Python has tools that help them to solve real-world problems. It does not have toys that let you write high-level C code. Since you apparently have never used the bulk of Python's features, you don't value them. They are above you on the Blub scale.
