[soc2008-general] Teaching Python

[Greg Wilson]

For teaching, there's also the proposal to finish porting
Mark Guzdial's excellent lightweight multimedia library
from Jython to CPython, fix its bugs, move it forward to 3.0,
etc.  There was a lot of excitement about Python at SIGCSE
(the computer science education conference) two weeks ago, but
one of the things holding people back is the lack of a fully
developed ecosystem; things like PyGraphics will help a lot.
