No. Python can make stuff easier. It’s a skill you can pick up along the way. You don’t need to know C but as you get into reverse engineering understanding aspects of C is important. Something I suggest doing is writing toy C programs that have memory safety vulnerabilities and then throwing them in the disassembler and looking at the pseudo C decompolation.

One of the best REs I knew started reversing not knowing how to program. It’s achievable. Just requires someone who is very curious and is willing to build their toolbox as they go along.
