It's been adopted at Michigan State U. this past year, and I'll be
teaching a Web dev followup course *next* year.

Python is also being used for bioinformatics at Caltech (not just me)
and at Michigan State (with no connection to the intro course).

The SciPy conferences have been eye opening as well: adoption here,
there, and everywhere.

Good to finally see this happening ;)
