I have had an 11 year old complete my tutorial with no help
from adults (apart from a few emails to me) and a 10 year old
complete it with the aid of his father.

I've also had a 10 year old girl go through my book(the paper edition)
with her father and succeed.

They are the youngest I know of.
The Python Edu SIG would be worth asking about this.

Also Gregor lingl(sp?) had a book/version of Python specifically
for teaching kids. I think it was in English as well as Gregor's
native German. Gregor, are you still on tutor list?

The other language with a very good repoutation for teaching
children is Logo, it has quite a good community for this purpose
too. And there are Windows versions with reasonable IDE too.

HTH,

Alan G.
