At one time, Guido was very keen on the idea of Python as a language to
introduce non-programmers to (under the 'Computer Programming for
Everybody' slogan).

I think it's rather a shame that this has more-or-less fallen by the
wayside. There are lots of people out there producing buggy
spreadsheets to do things that would be easier to do in a programming
language.
