I haven't used Python for long, still I think it's clean and friendly enough to be a good choise to learn programming. Sure I think it may not be the best option when talking about market share, but if you really like programming, you will learn a new language; it has never been a stoper for somebody that really likes programming. And Python will give you a fine setup for everything else.
There's also the advantange of knowing a scripting language to do those little or repetitive tasks that sometimes big languages are not the fastest (on development time, at least) options or the best fit. For example, I like Ruby when it's time to process text files.
If we are talking about the languages used in "the real world", why has nobody said a word about Java? From my understanding, Java is the most widely used language (if we take apart C/C++ since it is innecesarilly complex nowadays, at least for line of business applications). I'm mainly a C# developer, so I can't say a lot about Java, but I can't deny its importance in the business. What do you think?

Whatever language he choses as his first language is fine, but he must understand that to be hirable he must learn other languages too.

Perhaps the next class is about hardware implementation and everybody uses something like a Raspberry Pi. That's why I'm learning Python.

When I was at university it was an oft played game in the launderette late at night to climb into a tumble drier, have your mates insert 20p then shut the doors for a few spins.
You had to trust them to let you out again though, and only use a cool setting.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Amazingly indestructible wish my D7000 would have been as much.
It's in the repair shop now because it got partially submerged in the lake. I dried it for 4 days and it almost worked but wouldn't take pictures...damn. Hoping I get it back before camping trip in 2 weeks! Man I am lost without it, I can do without my cell phone but feel naked without the camera.
If first you don't succeed, hide all evidence you ever tried!

You can watch it live at 10AM US Pacific time here[^]. If, and only if, you watch it on an Apple device.

I know a ruder version of that joke.
To be fair, I know a ruder version of most jokes.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Indeed it is.
