of how Python is/should/could be used or not used within CS curricula.
That's a very valid set of threads which should be included, but they’re not
what circumscribing outer limit of relevance IMO. I don't think the
descriptions on the edu-sig page (which I wrote and maintain) may be
construed to narrow us that much.
To clarify my original query, the course I was referring to was not
actually in the CS curriculum per se; it is a service course (CS0) for
our whole student body. It serves as an introduction to computers and
computing, with the goal of introducing programming and algorithmic and
logical thinking to some degree. It is not intended for CS majors. We
expect and hope that the students' work in other areas will be enhanced
by taking this course. Naturally, we also hope that some will decide to
be CS majors :-).
I have enjoyed all the posts on this forum.
