I think most people here are commenting as graduates/professional so I thought I would chime in.

As a student, I love being taught in Python for introductory CS classes. I have been a course assistant as well.

The language is easy to pick and has great/easy applications that doesn't require learning another additional language.

(I am not opposed to learning another and carry the sentiment that you can relatively pick up another language.)

The second part is important to me as a student because I can quickly use it in my web programming projects, in my data-related projects and for scripting purposes as well(I admit I rarely do this).
