They come with Pippy! A Python IDE-ish application. Not sure if you'd be interested, but maybe you're work on the book can be used along side the OLPC project? Just an idea that popped into my head. :) I just thought of something…as I was sitting here reading your website on my OLPC…

I credit the experience that I had in coding with really sharpening my thought processes. I will try to follow your progress. Al, I applaud your efforts and goals.

You might want to check out this site: http://scratch.mit.edu It might be a good idea for a making book geared towards younger children. Hilary you might be interested in trying that scratch as well. 9 or 10 seems a little older then the audience I’d target, but I got my first computer at about 6/7 and started BASIC programming then.

Please keep be apprised of your book progress, I could offer some 9 year old proof readers and test subjects. Assuming that you have checked the field, do you have ant other suggestions or suggested texts or programs for this purpose?

If you've ever played or seen the game, you should know the extent of this programming language's ability. If any of you need a good example of Python in gaming, just take a look at EVE Online.

I hope you continue because I've been always hoping to start Python sometime soon. Nice project. I hope you continue because I’ve been always hoping to start Python sometime soon.
