Re:Ask HN: Is it important to learn C/Java before Python? by davelnewton on Thursday September 14, 2017 @07:51AM (#15246980)
No. In fact I explicitly recommend against learning C first (and I wouldn't recommend Java first at all; too much ceremony before you can actually get to programming).

Personally I'd go for https://learnpythonthehardway.org/ but there are a ton of options and it's not necessarily a big deal when you're just starting out.

That said: if you decide to keep programming I'd recommend learning something about C (not C++) because it's good to know what's actually happening in Python, and how much it does for you.
