Instead of deciding between Python or Lisp for a programming intro course...What about an intro course that uses *BOTH*? Good idea?

[Chris Seberino]

Instead of learning only Scheme or only Python for a one semester intro
course, what about learning BOTH?  Maybe that could somehow
get the benefits of both?

I'm thinking that for the VERY beginning, Scheme is the fastest language
to get beginners up and running writing code due to the extremely minimal simple syntax.

I'm thinking half way into the semester, instead of moving into intermediate Scheme, perhaps that is a good time to switch to Python?

Would a little strong intro to 2 nice languages in one semester be
same/good/worse/better than just 1?
