Well I think CVS is probably overkill at this stage, but I thought I could
teach it to them now so when we get to more complicated projects (/me
crosses fingers <blatant Americanism probably...sorry>) they would be
comfortable with the idea.

I was reminding them today how I hoped that they would learn good
development practices and not just Python syntax. I think getting a handle
on CVS would qualify. :-)
