Indeed. However... one thing that people have told me why C is easier is this: 'With python you need to come up with smarty pants algorithms, whereas in C a simple brute force approach will work fast enough'.
Which is also good, if you then practice your good algorithms in python, and move them to C if needed later. So that's related to your point I think - you can more easily use complex algorithms in python, and are forced to. Each language is easier in its own ways.
