[Edu-sig] Python-Only Moodle?

[Dethe Elza]

I have a server that I'd be willing to use to host a Python moodle.   
Do you want me to set it up, or would you rather I give you access?

It's livingcode.org (pardon the front page, I'm in the process of  
building a new one) and it's a dreamhosts site, so it's got PHP,  
MySQL, python, and lots of other goodies built in.
