If you want to talk genealogy, maybe, but is that normally what people mean when they say "C-like"? When I think of C-like languages I think of languages that use similar syntax, such as C++ or Java. Python is a high-level scripting language with totally different syntax, a totally different type system, and a mandatory run-time environment. I write Python and C on a daily basis and I'm flabbergasted anyone could find them similar. One of the reasons Python is so popular is that it's not like C.
