Sure python may be easier to learn, but it makes learning actual programming more difficult. Ever since the CS department switched to python, my workload as a computer systems TA has doubled.
Everybody hating on Java being the de facto language every student learns first (at least back when I was in university) but I think it's actually a great first language while I don't think python is for one simple reason: it has types but tries to hide them from you. It is soooo important to understand types early though.
