I think unironically learning assembly helped me the most in understanding the computer itself,I don't know about understanding Python through this manner.But through this fashion you can get an idea of how functions are made and operate.I feel like the jump between asm and C & 'higher' languages is bigger than the one between C and Python.

I don't think the mental step between C and assembler is that big. You got almost no constructs in C that does not map directly to assembler, like function overloading or classes.

The confusion starts when the optimzer throws around your code and makes it unreadable.
