I honestly foresaw this and advised my kids to learn Python, it's the new BASIC and the new JAVA-in-college. That does not mean Python is better than others, but it does fit a niche in the education system somehow. For EE major etc I would still recommend the plain C stuff though. For web-design etc Javascript might be a better course. Overall Python is a nice choice for the generic public.
