I had to double check this - but Python is several years older than Java. Wikipedia lists 1991 for its first release, vs 1995 for Java.

That said, I felt like Python became really well-known much later than Java (which had massive hype and enthusiasm in the 90s) - so I do actually agree with you listing it here.
