book as well rather than rely on assert.
It doesn't have the nice graphics of codebat for giving you feedback, but that
could all be added down the road.

Just to muddy the waters even further, David Ranum and I have adopted
the terminology call by assignment for our upcoming CS1 book. we
found this terminology a few Python references and liked it. Here's
an excerpt:
There are many different ways to pass parameters and different

Hi,
Returning to the question of a good module about graphics. I'm
using Zohn Zelle's book for my course. It has a interesting and
simple to use graphics module. It would be nice if that

I too will add one more voice to this chorus, in the hope that
numbers will influence Guido. The fact that input and raw_input
existed in Python was one important factor in our decision to move
our introductory curriculum to Python a couple years ago. I can
clearly remember excitedly

Please count me in.
Is it better than Zelle's? I think the pro Python case has

I like Lightening a lot! This is almost exactly what I have been
wanting
for beginners, and I may give it a try this spring.
If IDLE behaved this well and was this easy to use things would be
much
better.
The reliance on an
excellent turnout. We counted over 100 people in attendance! The discussion following our short presentation was very positive. It is clear that there is growing interest in using Python for introductory computer science.Brad--Brad Miller, PhDAssistant ProfessorLuther Collegehttp://www.cs.
