If you want to emphasize web usage, I'd be tempted to show them a bit of HTML 
and then introduce them to CGI-bin scripts... written in Python.

Something like Django might be fun to show as well, although such "full 
featured" content management systems are really a course unto themselves. 
(And if you're used Python scripts on the server and played with, e.g., MySQL 
a little, it'll be clear that things like Django are just greatly expanded 
versions of what they're doing themselves.)
