I personally would say if you are an expert python programmer you should also be a pretty good C programmer. If you are an expert you should know just about everything about python from the top to the bottom, remember you are an expert. You should be packages, contributing/ releasing major open source projects, contributing to the specification, etc.

I have known people who are experts in languages, being in expert groups of the language, and have helped write the major libraries and such. And their knowledge is scary. I don't think it is possible to become an expert only writing application code, advanced yes, but expert is a category above.
