seeing posts from students on group. I am curious to know, Do they
teach python in academic courses in universities?
in undergrad comp science courses, We had scheme language as scheme
is neat and beautiful language to learn programming. We learnt other
languages ourselve with basics set right by scheme..

Yes, Python is used in many CS programs. In fact, I read that Guido
van Rossum often polls profs about their needs when thinking about new
features and the direction of the language.

They didn't at either of the colleges I went to. They seemed to be
focused on C++, COBOL and Visual Basic. All are used all over the
place, but only Visual Basic is easy for complete newbs. I hope more
colleges adopt Python or Ruby as a teaching language, but I don't
think it's a good idea to ignore COBOL or C++ since their used so
extensively in big business.

This came up a while back. See: http://tinyurl.com/2pjjua
If that doesn't work, search the Google group for "Python taught in
schools"

And alas one of the worst languages for a beginner - because you'll
probably need years to unlearn it.

being widely used doesn't imply being a good language for teaching CS
(nor even being a good language for anything).

which language? I listed 3...and since you don't actually "learn" a
language at all in a beginner's class, I don't really have anything to
unlearn. All you get in those STUPID classes is a taste of
programming...if you're lucky.

I wasn't implying that they were good or bad, but that if you go to
work for most big businesses, than it would probably be beneficial to
know the language(s). For example, most insurance, financial and
government jobs use COBOL to some degree or another.

In Southampton Uni (UK) they do teach (some) Python to Engineering
undergrads (aero, mech, ship, maybe more) thanks to one lecturer
pushing it afaik.

Sydney University teaches user interface design, some data mining and
some natural language processing in Python. Software development is
still largely a Java or C affair.

Bruce Sherwood and Ruth Chabay have an introductory physics text that
uses python for getting students doing computer simulation and
visualization very "early" compared to most course sequences:
