While Python as a high-level language cannot control the hardware like C and assembly do, I think Guido is urging Pythonists to learn C as a second language to prepare for the software-hardware interaction world?
C++ for most of my algorithm work and computationally intensive work. C for my system programming work. Java/Python/JavaScript for my web related stuff. No assembly language? :)
