This is all great stuff! Thanks to all who responded here or in email! However so far this all goes to only half of the questions I am trying to address.
I'd also like to consider the bad news. At least three important projects that I know of have abandoned Python in favor of Java or Squeak: 1) Alice 2) Patapata 3) Mark Guzdial's CS for artists course/textbook It is also plain to see that self-directed web-centric beginners are more likely to gravitate to Javascript, Actionscript/Flash or PHP. What are the roots of these choices? Should we be concerned about them? If so, is there anything we can and should realistically do about them? mt _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
