Which is easier C or Python

As a beginner you should start with Python of course because of the easier and smaller syntax, the syntax is more readable as compared to C. Python lets you ignore all the ugly low-level concepts of programming like pointers, structs, memory management, etc.

No, C is not a prerequisite to learn python . The two languages aren’t too closely related, their syntax is quite different. At first glance, Java, C++, C# or even PHP and JavaScript will look more familiar to a C programmer than python. Python is more similar to Ruby and CoffeeScript both in syntax and philosophy.

Python is easy to write and has a clear syntax. Hence writing Python programs is much easier when compared to C++ . C++ is a statically typed language i.e. the declaration of a variable, the data type of variables, etc. are verified at compile time.
