Agreed!
After taking a course which used SICP, I was so inspired I wrote a functioning Scheme interpreter in a couple of evenings - in C, with no external libraries. It was pretty limited (no tail recursion), but could run examples from the book.
That is not going to work with python - even just parsing the program will need a whole bunch of extra knowledge.
