[Edu-sig] PySqueak: more on the cultural divide among paradigms

[Andrew Harrington]

I just looked at Panda3D.  The export restrictions in the license are 
troublesome. 

Another obvious drawback in the intro is the reference only to Windows 
and Linux, not Apple.
I do not know if that might change with Apple moving to Intel.

Sigh, for a Linux or Windows lab in the US, it looks nice, but for our 
general community projects, platform and country independence are 
important..
