I don't think so, C/C++ is probably the best language to learn with, or one of them at least. You can start with a basic "Hello World" program without having to use classes or objects and the syntax is very standard and common.
Then, once you have basic control flow down (ifs, switches, while loops, for loops, do-whiles, etc) you can start learning about enums and structures, and finally evolve into OOP (Object-Oriented Programming, classes and objects), instead of languages like C# and Java that are forcefully OOP languages.
Also, Python is a scripting language and C/C++ are compiled languages, so they have different uses and applications as well.
tl;dr: C/C++, but Python is awesome too!
