You are correct that if you call C from Python, you can run into problems. But the fault there lies with the C, not the Python. Pure Python itself is memory safe. Because memory safety is built on top of memory unsafety, it is generally understood that when discussing things at this sort of level, that we are speaking about the Python-only subset. (Same as any other memory safe language.)
