According to http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-bash2/index.html Python is a procedural language as well.

Bash programming constructs

If you've programmed in a procedural language like C, Pascal, Python, or Perl, then you're familiar with standard programming constructs like "if" statements, "for" loops, and the like.

What does it mean to be a procedural language?

C is procedural, which is easier to learn. C++ is object oriented. Java is object oriented. I have not looked at Python so I cannot comment. PHP is object oriented, however most use it for scripting (old school PHP).
