Because virtually nothing is bound to anything until we get to this line of code, Python is the ultimate dynamic language. I find that the vast majority of Python code that I write is not processor-bound or memory-bound. It's disk or network bound (and still would be if I wrote it in C). It's also much simpler to teach programming in than alternatives.
