No, not necessarily at all -- there's a ton of pure Python code in the standard library, so if you're adding to or making improvements there, no need to know C.

No, not necessarily at all -- there's a ton of pure Python code in the standard library, so if you're adding to or making improvements there, no need to know C. And then there's documentation and other non-code issues too.
