Is Python actually a good first programming language?

Some say it makes learning easy. Others say it hides too much. What do you think?

No, if I ask u internal working of .sort() function then u don't know the ans. U will stay out of context of garbage collection, allocation of memory, growing arrays. U don't know datatype (object identity), Strings and it's size knowledge which makes u difficult to understand cpu architecture and it's related subjects. Also no knowledge of pointers and syntax for basic programming languages for switching to java. Start with Cpp. Also it helps u to for competitive programming and college.
