I like this one.  However, I think it's still just a little on the
complex side for a front-page example.  What about something more like
this:

python = [
        "Easy to read",
        "Fast to code",
        "Quick to learn",
        "Modular and object oriented",
        "Open source and cross platform",
        ]
print "Python is ... "

for feature in python:
    print feature

print "See more examples of Python code at \
