This is true. Learn Python and *then* learn other languages. Learn as 
many languages as you like. Python will teach you how to think when 
writing programs. This thought process will be the same for C, C++, 
Perl, etc. As a bonus, Python can be applied to solving real-world 
problems as well. So, you get the best of both worlds:

1. A theorhetical language that easily teaches the concepts of modern 
computer programming.

2. A practical language that is actually useful for doing things.

Python is also easy to read compared to other languages. It's much 
easier to learn. Its syntax doesn't get in the way of learning like C 
++, or other language's syntax can. It's fun too.

Best of luck,

Bart
