Lo que hay que saber cuendo quieres usar C como dev pyhon:

^ C      ^ Python          ^
| The variable is typed (you need fill the type), that's help with the security | The variable is typeless |
| Pointer allow manipulated raw memory | No pointer |
| Have large mature lib, used for any system call | Have wrapper but is more slow |
| Have abstraction only where it have sense, you need code for architecture/OS for specific part (reduced specific part from C++11 C++17, ...) | all is abstracted, the same code work everywhere but you don't use specification of the OS/hardware |
| C is mostly compiled (interpreter exists) | Python is mostly interpreted (JIT, compiler exists) |
| Is faster | Is slower (can be improved) |
