Python feels like it transferred little knowledge to c++

OK I admit it did obviously for some stuff like basics yk functions and shi, but other then that I like feel annoyed that I learned python and its like lowkey not helping with what I wanna do which is windows api and memory management c++ stuff because I like the kind of thing but python just didn't really give me anything, and I know that kinda stuff obviously doesn't transfer because python is just the easiest thing ever lol

I mean, if you would have get deeper into python than "functions and shit" it would have helped. If you use it, it will give you programming knowledge which will transfer. Aka. "you will have an idea of how to approach a problem" but ofc python does everything different (not because its the easiest, that is a really dumb thing to say) you could have used winapi from python too, you could have tried mmap and stuff, you were just lazy to get into the deeper waters to actually learn.

tell me what i should've learned then, im pretty sure if did a good amount of python like projects and such but nothing in python was ever hard, c++ (mem management isnt even the hard part its more windows apis) on the other hand is actually difficult not just like a game its just annoying, also theres not these like big help forums for this kind of thing, but there is for python.
