How can i implement a C like struct,create an array of such a struct and read such data in Python?
typedef struct Pair{
int first_element,second_element;
}Pair;
Pair array_of_pairs[10];

Python arrays can contain anything - and they grow as needed so you don't need to put a hard-limit on the size.
Try this - it creates a namedtuple (good way to represent struct like things).
from collection import namedtuple
Pair = namedtuple("Pair", ["first", "second"])
p1 = Pair(1,2)
p2 = Pair(3,4)
list_of_pairs = [p1,p2]
print(list_of_pairs)

And if I,for example,want to print just the first pair or any other data from my array is it enough to just type
print(list_of_pairs[0]) just like in any python list,which i explicitly convert it into an array?

List indexing works just like in C. But you'll get an
IndexError if you try to access anything outside the bounds of the list

collections not collection. Try: from collections import namedtupleUse tuples:
pair = (1, 2)
first, second = pair
array_of_pair = [pair, (3, 4)]
