[TriZPUG] Is Python Beginner-Friendly?

[Calvin Spealman]

Python IS one of the most beginning friendly languages, but the poster
makes some good points, too. Especially about IDLE for Windows users, which
is a HUGE majority of the incoming Python potential programmers.
Thankfully, PyCon 2013 spawned a lot of new debate and pressure to make
IDLE a *good* first tool, because we need it to be.
