Could you explain how "Python was intended for education originally."?
As I recall, Python was designed for the Amoeba operating system, and drew on experience from implementing ABC; ABC was definitely designed for education.
But ABC != Python. Checking now, the first Usenet post for Python 0.9 says:
> Python can be used instead of shell, Awk or Perl scripts, to write prototypes of real applications, or as an extension language of large systems, you name it.

See https://groups.google.com/g/comp.sys.sgi/c/7r8kVgQ84j0 .
It doesn't specifically mention using Python for education.
