If we accept that the gatekeepers for the OLPC educational software have a distinct educational philosophy --- the question then becomes why Python?? In the context of that educational philosophy, the answer is "no good reason". But if our efforts represent a *different* educational philosophy - to me they necessarily do if they see Python as central - how does it get past the gatekeepers.???] Art _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list Edu-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
