I think Python is great, because it's a very comfortable language to write in. My foundational language was C, and we had to roll out everything ourselves. Want dynamic lists? Better get down and write your own structure. Now, while that may be a great experience for learning how things work on a bit micro level, it seemed like a complete nightmare for those with zero to no previous programming experience. Lots of people end up fighting the language, rather than focusing on the big picture. Writing in Python feels like writing pseudo code. It's very comfortable. It makes beginners gain confidence, because they see quick results. They don't have to punch out code for 60 mins, hoping that it'll work once they hit compile and run.
