[Chicago] Python for teens.

[Atul Varma]

That's awesome!  Is it possible to do this with a store-bought XBox 360, or
does one have to become a registered developer with Microsoft and get a
special XBox development system?

I've been impressed with Microsoft's .NET APIs lately.  Although I don't
know much about XNA, just glancing at the source code makes it look much
easier than DirectX programming and more elegant than Pygame code.
