For those that look at the available links and do not pursue further because they appear to point to resources written in German, note that some documents are available in English (and French) in addition to German. For example: http://www.tigerjython.com/engl/index.php I have not tried it yet. Reading the description, I like the fact that it appears to be a self-contained environment (like Thonny and Mu) that include nice simplified tracebacks and other features useful for beginners. I note that it adds to standard Python a special repeat syntax repeat n: # block of code which is something I also support on Reeborg's World. I suggested such an addition for standard Python on the Python-ideas list but it was quickly shut down (and I don't disagree with the rationale given - but I still think it is something very useful in an environment designed for beginners). It is possible to implement something like this in standard Python using import hooks (as I reported some time ago on this list), but it is not exactly easy. (I may have more to say on this soon.)
