Learning enough of a language just to do something with it is not necessarily learning the language. It can take a while to actually learn the idioms of a given language and make full use of it. So if your Python code looks like JavaScript or C#, you're not there yet. This is an older post, but still interesting to consider:

I've definitely seen many examples where people for example are writing java code in python. Though, being able to learn a language in-depth enough to write good, maintainable code probably is a sign that you do have a pretty good grasp of programming concepts and fundamentals I would imagine.
