Pretty nice article! The only thing I'd say is about your "extensibility" section. The value of this is a little abstract. After I learned programming Basic as a kid, I put it aside for a few years because I felt like I had "outgrown" Basic, and couldn't really do much interesting with it. Part of the value of Python is that it will "grow up" alongside your knowledge of it: you can program turtle graphics in Python when you're 12, or program your raspberry Pi, or build game mods, but then also know that you can use SciPy/NumPy when you go to college, or be able to use it in real, powerful applications. How do you address Python 2 vs. 3 in advocating Python to kids?
