I first learned Python and then much later C, and for me at least learning Python first was very motivating because you can get things done so easily, due to the built-in batteries and the wealth of external libraries. Seeing that the computer needs less than a second for what would have taken me many hours of tedious work was pretty eye opening. Learning C later on helped me understand some basic concepts better and being able to speed up Python e.g. using Cython can come in quite handy.
