I definitely found Python easier to learn, although now I find common lisp easier to use (Commas are terrible, and for what- infix syntax?). But in terms of why the README might say that not everyone has time to learn common lisp, my point was that it's just an obvious truism that more language bindings increases the potential userbase. To someone who already knows python, python bindings make using Petalisp that much easier. To someone who doesn't know Python, well then they can pick up Python or CL at their leisure.
