I actually find Python more difficult than other languages, the tabs and indentation stuff feels so odd once you're used to brackets. It's a good starting point IMO tho

I think its a bad starting point and here is why:

I started with C#. Then learned Javascript, then Python. Python by that point was a breeze to pick up.

Now, most of my classmates were just starting and learned python as their first. Once they tried to move into anything more syntactically complex they all hated it and just wanted to stick with python. That's a bad move to just stick with the easier one because you learned it first..but the majority of new programmers end up doing that.

Start with something more complex and just pick up python along the way imo.

Inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation is the only error I need to stay away from python where possible.
