We had a good start with the PyWhip project http://pywhip.appspot.com, 
then we lost our volunteer website developer.  If you can find someone 
to fill that role, maybe we can resume.  I know there was a lot of 
interest from other teachers.

The focus of PyWhip is on small problems, and lots of repetition.  It's 
an interactive websitel, not a textbook, although I think the help files 
could do well as teaching aids.
