Yes. The nice thing with Python is that you can start off with really simple examples and slowly build up the complexity along with the understanding of the students. There's no need to explain OO before the students can write their first 'Hello, world'. There's almost no limit to how 'shallow/deep' you can go with Python. 2B -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
