Teaching Python started as a podcast about teaching programming in the classroom. But both the hosts and the world around Python have changed.

In this episode, Kelly and Julian reflect on what Teaching Python means in 2026, as Python increasingly sits inside a much larger computing landscape that includes AI, data, cybersecurity, cloud, software engineering, systems thinking, and automation.

They explore why Python still matters when AI can generate code, how the skills around programming are changing, and why reading, debugging, evaluating, testing, and modifying code may matter more than simply producing it. The conversation also looks at the changing role of the teacher, coach, and learner when AI can become another source of guidance.

Python is still here. But teaching Python now is increasingly about helping people understand, build, question, and make decisions with technology.
