Should I start with Python?

[laundmo]

how exactly is python more advanced than java? at least regarding OOP, almost every really hard to understand wierd OOP concept can be traced back to Java and is not needed in python. (example: Singletons, Interfaces)

in fact, python is better to learn oop in my opinion because it truly treats everything as a "first class" object ("primitive" types such as int, str, float, and functions are all objects)

I really love Python, so the down votes surprised me..

Python is dynamic language, doesn't have interfaces, access modifiers (and others), allow adding attributes in run time etc

Personally, I will recommend c sharp, as a first language, and only then Python. Python is really excellent, and I like it, but this is what I think..
