Introduction
This is a listing of schools that are using Python in their curriculum.
I would like to confirm each of the schools below by linking to a specific web page with a course listing and/or the professor(s) teaching classes that involve the use of Python. Each listing should be expanded with a description of how Python is being used. -- KevinAltis

The CS department has introduced Computer Science for the Sciences, an introductory course aimed at (mainly) life sciences students.
CSC207H is a third-semester course that teaches several weeks of Python.
- A few 2nd- and 3rd-year theory courses have students implement some algorithms in Python.
- University of Waterloo
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.
