I don't think that is correct -- everything I've read is that Guido 
designed Python as a scripting language for use in the "Amoeba" 
operating system.

You might be thinking of Python's major influence, ABC, which was 
designed as a teaching language -- but not by Guido himself. Guido was 
heavily influenced by ABC, both in what to do, and what not to do.
