Well, now we have two iffy presenters:

But maybe 2 iffies are about the same as one solid.  So if you are happy with 2-ish IDE presenters, it's ok with me.

If we get really stuck at the last minute, I can come prepared to do a "Python Pitfalls" session, or something from my class materials.

And I'm always happy to do a last-minute "Why Python?" slide show, which has matured since I did the first pass a while back.
