If that were true, nobody would ever choose Python over Perl or Java. In
fact, a lot of people are attracted by the beauty of the core language
and there are people moving to Ruby because it is a more theoretically
pure language. Through cleaning up little nasty bits, I think Python is
actually getting simpler to learn as time goes by.
