Python only forms part of rubrik of technology stack that everyone of us uses. Linux, Windows, S60, MacOSX mostly form the underlying operating system. Bunch of libraries form another bit important piece. C/Java/.net form another piece of the puzzle by providing module interfaces. There are frameworks and interfaces. All these things do not exist in isolated forms. They are in constant flux. Sometimes even competing languages like ruby become critical to solutions being built. In this context, "only python" initiative presents an unclear if not inappropriate picture to students. Pushing them to think of technology for technologies sake instead of technology for finding solutions. This will only happen if other pieces also become part of knowledge base being imparted to the someone willing to learn.
