Then the sequence is python, C, assembly.
Python will let you actually write code.
It has a clean syntax that encourages code legibility.
C is much closer to the metal.
The primary python virtual machine is written C.
Operating systems are mostly written in C and assembly.
Assembly is writing for the metal.

Other posters have mentioned perl and system administration.
Python has made inroads, but perl has a major head start.
That head start includes additives suited to system administration.
System maintenance probably means learning perl to deal with existing code.
I've not learned perl.
