Algorand is Python capable.

I'm not seeing a lot about this on Reddit, so here are a few words from the new CMO of the Algorand Foundation:

"Algorand's native support for Python stands alone. Our release with AlgoKit 2.0 introduces regular, semantically normal Python as Algorand's canonical language. Developers can write code in the exact Python language they know, and it magically compiles to AVM bytecode.

By writing syntactically correct Python, rather than in a "Python-like", or "It-smells-like-Python-but-it-isn't" language , it enables compatibility with Python-native tooling. It also enables developers to share reusable Python code via pip with standard Python module tooling and import it in their smart contracts.

Algorand is the first Layer 1 to support native Python and meet the millions of Python developers where they are, with the tools they like to use and and dev environments they're used to.

And yes, it is a first in the blockchain industry and a very big deal!"
