What is Better C Vs Python?

I am told that Python is far superior to C in programming simplicity. I am the average user C. I don’t want to praise myself. Will it be useful if I learn Python to implement my codes in the future?

It depends on what you expect from your language. For example, I am developing firmware for an embedded device. I can load Linux into it and do my work in Python, but I need really fast code for the hardware, so I use C on bare metal (without an operating system). On the other hand, I need to develop many programs for my PC that interact with this device, mainly for development and testing. I do not need these programs to configure, I do not even need to run them quickly. I just need them to be fast and reliable and safe, so I use Python.

EDIT: when choosing a language, I think you should read Ridding averages

It is always useful to learn another language. If you are familiar with C, I would spend some time learning C ++, and this is likely to be more useful and based on your existing set of skills, but if you have time, then learning Python is a great idea!
