Is it hard to learn Python after C?

No, C is not a prerequisite to learn python. At first glance, Java, C++, C# or even PHP and JavaScript will look more familiar to a C programmer than python. Python is more similar to Ruby and CoffeeScript both in syntax and philosophy.

Is it easy to learn C# After Python?

Because of this, C# is just a bit slower to learn and to code. C# can also do almost anything that Python is able to do, and C# is much faster at runtime partly because of all the extra effort you put into it. Python is easy to learn (certainly easier to learn than C#) and easy to write.

Why is C programming so hard to learn compared to Python?

Partly because the typical C program has different restrictions from the typical Python program, and partly because you just have to write more code and think harder to get that kind of thing right in C than you do in Python.

How difficult is it to learn Python?

If you have a programming background, Python is pretty straightforward to pick up. The most onerous task is learning the libraries and idioms. The documentation at python.org is quite good and free. If you’re doing number crunching you’ll almost certainly want to become familiar with the numpy extension.

Should I learn C++ or Python first?

@Noodles: I would say that if you want to learn Python (or any other language), the only way to do that is to actually learn it, not just to prepare for learning it. You’ll be a better programmer in the long run from mastering multiple languages, but you can still master C and C++ afterlearning Python.

Do I need to know Python to learn C/C API?

You do need to understand Python reasonably well before the Python/C API makes much sense, though. Oh yes, and if you want to understand OOP in general, remember later on to take a look at something like Java, Objective-C, C++, or D. Python isn’t just an OO language, it’s a dynamic OO language.
