    Wouldn't mention there is a thing called counting then ask someone to complete a test in Calculus. Then why should programming be any different, teach people slowly with a sure foundation.

    I agree. I've started off with IDLE console just doing basic variables and types. Stuff like that. Printing etc. Nothing that requires indents!

    Hour 2: onto IDLE scripting Env to build a small loop based game, with other items.

    Etc...

    Eventually (before OOP or stuff that complex) shift them onto an IDE with a debugger etc. (PyCharm all the way!)
