One thought on this; I would expect any teaching of Python to involve some
lab work as part of the session; learning works best when you try/repeat
what you've learned.

For that component at least, I'd imagine having multiple people on hand to
help out would probably be useful, to ensure a good student<->helper
ratio. Maybe they're not "instructors" but "lab assistants" (they were at
my university), but whatever!
