[omaha] Python: cornerstone of MIT EECS program

[Jeff Hinrichs - DM&T]

Python has replaced scheme as the cornerstone class for all EECS
classes at MIT for entering freshman.

  http://courses.csail.mit.edu/6.01/fall07/software/   Python and
Robotics -- very cool.  Beats the pants off the introductory classes I
had in Pascal. ; )

A few hundred MITer's learning Python right away should be good for
Python.  We can only hope that our local uni's follow suite without
much delay.
