If you want to emphasize web usage, I'd be tempted to show them a bit of HTML and then introduce them to CGI-bin scripts... written in Python. Something like Django might be fun to show as well, although such "full featured" content management systems are really a course unto themselves. (And if you're used Python scripts on the server and played with, e.g., MySQL a little, it'll be clear that things like Django are just greatly expanded versions of what they're doing themselves.) ---Joel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
