I'm pretty sure Python's list type is implemented as a dynamic array, otherwise random access wouldn't work very well.

Maybe try to not identify so hard with language choice? That way you gain the capability of processing critique without loosing your marbles.

PyList is a dynamic array (usually called vector) of PyObjects, i.e. it contains objects and never values.

Why should it matter how lists are implmented?

Because someone claimed that they're not arrays, which they are. So the posted article is correct in that sense; and not wrong about everything, which was also claimed.
