UMich's new Informatics major (AFAICT, it's like Java-school CS) is doing Python for the intro programming course, and grad students in the School of Information also do Python. http://www.pythonlearn.com http://www.pythonlearn.com and http://www.si502.com/ http://www.si502.com/ respectively. Don't know whether these are good courses; in some sense I think it must be hard to have a bad introductory programming course.
