I am being told that Python is far superior to C in the ease of programming. I am an average( dont want to praise myself) user of C. Will it be helpful if I learn Python to implement my codes in future?

It depends on what do you expect from your language. For example I am developing firmware for embedded device. I can boot Linux in it and do my work in Python, but I need really fast code tuned for the hardware, so I use C on bare metal (without operating system). On the other hand, I need to develop many programs for my PC communicating with that device, mainly for developing and testing purposes. I don't need this programs to be tuned, I don't even need them to run fast. I just need them to be created quickly and to be robust and safe - so I use Python.

EDIT: When picking a language, I think you should read Beating the Averages

It's always useful to learn another language. If you're familiar with C then I'd invest some time in learning C++ and this is likely to be more immediately useful and will build on your existing skillset, but if you've got the time then learning Python is a great idea!
