Last semester I finished a CS course which used Python as the 
programming language of instruction (it always used to be C).  My 
impression of Python is that it is fairly similar to PHP in a number of 
ways:

Don't have to declare variables and types before using.
Can program procedural or object-oriented style.

My experience is that it was a pretty approachable language, certainly 
not as strict as Java.
