What is the target audience for the tutorial? Is it programming newbies, java or c programmers who want to upgrade, or are they comp.sci graduates?
Starting the tutorial with that it can be extended in other languages gives the wrong idea to people imho, why bother learning python if you end up writing C? (I know it's different).
Do others agree with this?
The message should (IMO) be that "Python integrates well with your existing code and your existing libraries", not "you have to write C to get things done". Java (Jython) and DotNet/C# (IronPython) deserves to be mentioned too, in some discrete way...
As for the audience, I've added a separate page for further discussion.
