In 2000 -- 2001 Centre College began using Python as the first language in a breadth first CS1 taken by both majors and non-majors. Shannon described that course our choice of Python for that course in [5]. At this point all matriculating students in our program used Python as a first language in that CS1 course. In general we are happy with the choice, and we have the experience to say why. We can also point out some issues that have arisen as a result of the choice.
