After guiding beginners through Python, one crucial advantage it has over other language for beginners is good documentation (and a lot of it), and a readily available REPL. The beginner can quickly test different variables/data structures, observe that something's fishy, and then read the documentation to find out what the code is supposed to do. Contrast that to a beginner debugging a similar problem in, say C, which would be far more difficult.
