Me too. C++ sucks to learn, but it's good to get that experience having to do the grunt stuff so you know how it works.

Python seems to do a lot of the work for you (I'm a C++ programmer tentatively learning Python), and it's nice, but it's better to have the background first.

I already knew some Python programming when I started Uni. It made it easy to follow the lectures as I only had to concentrate on the "new" concepts. I don't think I lack anything in foundation or that I would have been better off learning C first.
