Your welcome, I'm learning Python as well, love the bignum. "The thing is though, I come from other languages where reinventing the wheel is seen as a really dumb idea, but perhaps in C it is the right way to go? I'm honestly not sure!" They often say that about assembly, and I think I may have to pull my foot out one day and learn it. The C programming mindset requires one to think like a machine. Very few people are born with that skill, it has to be beaten into programmers with a keyboard. BTW I only started learning coding last year, but I started with C++. Did you do the same or jump straight to C? I tend to agree more with Stallman and Torvalds these days: "A horrible language".
