I, for one, have been trying to integrate SAGE/python as my as possible
in my preCalculus classes:

Unfortunately, I'd love to do the same in AP Calculus but Graphing
Calculators are required on that AP exam. The students need to use the
Graphing Calculator all year to be proficient enough by May. So, adding
SAGE/python to the mix there would not be helpful. If only the
CollegeBoard would allow PC/Tablet based calculators/programming
languages/CASs, I'd be all over it! In fact, I just started a
DonorsChoose project to at least replace my Graphing Calculators
(TI-83/TI-89) with something more modern (TI Nspire CX CAS):
