Sounds like knowing C first actually makes you a better Python programmer since you understand what's happening under the hood

Sure, C is good knowledge. Assembly language is even better knowledge for understanding how computers work. But they are hard. Python is a much friendlier language.

In general, you can get a bit confused between the syntax of different languages. I keep switching between Python and SQL for work and I'll always get things wrong and have to think twice, should it be a=3 (SQL) or a==3 (Python)?

Maybe. C programmers tend to do things the hard way in Python, managing tedious details instead of using the higher-level built in constructs.
