Having the boilerplate code be separate sounds like a good approach to avoid the "scary" parts you need to make the framework (without having to muck with the folding code), though perhaps going the other direction: import boilerplateCode.py at the beginning of each "program" file (could add it to the python template), then can be saved as childsNameProgramNumberOrWhatever.py might be easier.
I'm assuming you're looking at educational resources for python already, but out of curiosity I was checking out the python education SIG [1] and learned about the built-in turtle module [2] and Guido von Robot [3]. Even as an adult I think these are pretty cool. :) 1: http://www.python.org/community/sigs/current/edu-sig/ 2: http://docs.python.org/library/turtle.html 3: http://gvr.sourceforge.net/ (online version http://gvr-online.appspot.com ) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lex Trotman Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2012 7:16 PM To: Geany general discussion list Subject: Re: [Geany] Code folding On 2 March 2012 09:36, Andy Bain <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, I'm new to the list but I'm more than willing to contribute. > > > I'm working with the new Raspberry Pi and I'm trying to make Geany more > kid friendly (6 year old+). > > > Where does Geany get its code folding delimiters from?

Hi, I'm not aware of any way of making things open folded, IIUC the fold state isn't stored between sessions. Maybe you can set things up so the kids write in a nice empty file (just change the python template to be empty) and have it imported into a file with all the boilerplate when run.
