The point of learning C as a python developer isn't to learn C nearly as much as it is to better understand what's going on in the levels of abstraction below.

Many years ago, as a student, a friend let me borrow their copy of "Hacking: The Art of Exploitation". At the time I thought I was going to be learning about security. What I learned instead was what a program was, what a computer was, at a surprising level of detail.

Especially the early chapters, a true picture of what computers are doing is given to the reader. And once you understand that, you could apply the knowledge to security, no doubt. But you could also apply it to understanding many higher level languages- Python included.

You can find older editions online as PDF files. Really recommend it.
