Unfortunately this year will probably be the same as I have an experiment scheduled to start 31st March. It has been delayed by 2 months already, and there's a good chance it will be delayed further. Pencil me in, and I'll see what availability I have nearer the time. I learnt python 5 years ago, and have programmed bits and bobs in it ever since. I have also written one or two half games in PyGame, but nothing complete or even promising.
