I think python is very well suited to people who do computation in Excel spreadsheets. For actual CS students, I'd rather see something like scheme be a first language (but maybe I'm just an old person)

They do both Python and Scheme in the same Berkeley intro to CS class. But I think the point of Scheme is more to expand students' thinking with a very different language. The CS fundamentals are still covered more in the Python part of the course.
