What I do not understand is that Python is seen as a good language to teach Computer Science. I would have thought that a requirement for such a language is that it is theoretically sound. Python has a broken scope concept. Also, I think that a "there is only one way to do it" philosophy, coupled with the crippling of several constructs, is not a good basis for forming an open mind.
