In particular, when teaching students, please steer them away from proprietary software, regardless of price. Non-free software such as Sublime Text, PyCharms, Wing IDE, and the like, sometimes have a zero-dollar license, but your students should not be encouraged to use tools they are forbidden to learn about and share. In education, please use free-software tools – that is, software with license to inspect, modify, and share the changes – so your students can learn at any level their interest takes them. -- \ “What I resent is that the range of your vision should be the | `\ limit of my action.” —Henry James | _o__) | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
