This is a great analogy. All that to say, there's no problem with at all with learning python first, but you'll understand how python works much better coming from C.

*array of chars
All that to say, someone can learn how to ride a bike before knowing how a derailleur works and that's not a prereq to riding, but knowing how one works will come in handy when it's time for a tune up or knowing that cross chaining can cause a rougher ride.
