are you saying that if you want to learn the internals of cpython you don't need to know c before hand? i think learning c is a must for this case

No, I'm saying C is not enough on its own.

sure there is much more to it than just knowing c, but learning it should be encouraged as an important stepping stone if someone wants to learn cpython internals ... or even internals of many (most?) popular python libraries
