Sort of. Maybe. When python was gaining momentum in university settings though, the one main argument I read from a professor more than a decade ago, is that the python implementation was near identical to their pseudocode. So they stopped using whatever language they were using in their textbooks, and started using python, since it made it easier to convey the knowledge they were trying to convey (and probably greatly decreased the amount of editing and typos). Basically, don't discount a text book where every algorithm is executable code, without first having to translate it into some other language.
