It's hard to know more without any context. I teach both Python and OCaml to undergraduates, but the students have to learn Python first (to get a firm grasp on basic programming). My experience with OCaml (which I vastly prefer to Python) is that it's polarizing. Some students absolutely love it, but others struggle with the language and have a hard time getting their programs to compile even after weeks of effort. Such students are obviously going to prefer other languages.
