In practice, snippets of Python look very similar to pseudocode. A lot of the idiosyncrasies I see people bring up I consider "intermediate" or "advanced" Python. For the first 5 years I used Python I never wrote a class or a module (I was familiar enough to know when I saw one), let alone cared what a meta-class was.
