python is hard to learn without c

[Robert]

I don't agree. I am learning Python and have no C/C++ background. I am
learning it as my first language and I am really enjoying it. What I think
prior knowledge of any language gives you is a "mindset" on the overall
creation of a program (methodologies et al.). That has been the hardest part
for me.

Anyway...my 2 cents...
