No. Python can not replace C in a number of application areas:
* Bare-metal applications without an OS.
* Low-resource applications with limited memory (like a few KB).
* Device driver and kernel modules for OSes like Linux, Unix, (and,
AFAIK, Windows).
* Computationally intensive applications where there isn't a library
available written C or FORTRAN to do the heavy lifting.
For general application programming on a server or PC, then Python can
replace many/most uses of C/C++/Java.
