EDIT: There aren't sufficient enough tutorials for what I'm trying to do in Python, so I'm going to take my time and slowly build up my skills in C. It's hard to trip and not land in a book of C tutorials on game development and 3D programming.

I'm afraid you don't know what a Game Engine is. Here is a wikipedia page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_engine
You're referring to visual development tools. A Game Engine doesn't have to provide those.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Before you start any 3D Game Development however, I'd highly recommend you to learn SFML and/or SDL to get yourself familiar with game development. Something cool to try after you get the hang of it would be developing your own, small 2D Game Engine, and try to develop several 2D Games with it with minimal changes to the engine.
After that, decide whether to learn OpenGL or DirectX. I wont get into the pros and cons here, as they have been discussed in a different thread.

Eventually you should learn both IMO.
I personally love writing Game Engines and such, and I'd highly recommend you to do so as well. IMHO it's much more fun knowing that your game is running on your own Game Engine built from the ground up.
