University of Waterloo (Waterloo, Canada, one of the more prestigious 
engineering/comp-sci schools in Canada) is using it officially in CS488 
(Intro to 3D graphics), and I'm told there's lots of use among faculty, 
staff and students.  I don't think they actually teach much Python, 
they're focused on teaching OpenGL/graphics programming, but they do 
wind up using it as the framework into which the students slot their code.

Enjoy,
