You could include the Pygame module.  If this CD is for beginners,
nothing like writing a game to provide a little bit of motivation!
Plus, Pygame provides a lot of multimedia features all in one place
(graphics, sound, keyboard, mouse, joystick, CD, mixer)

I'm sure everyone could suggest their favorite module be included, but
Pygame might be the kind of thing that would catch some beginner's
fancy.  How many of us wrote a game as one of our first programs?  :)

Hi all,

I am planning to make a Python CD for advocating Python, and I need your

suggestions about this, the objective is to build a CD that contains the

basic material for Python beginner (e.g. Python 2.4.2 for different 
platforms) with some advocating material (e.g. videos), and here is what

comes to my mind to present on the CD:

Software:
- Python 2.4.2 for different platforms.
- ironPython 0.9.5
- wxPython 2.6
- SPE 0.7.5

Media:
- Introducing Python (video)
- TurboGears (videos)
- ironPython (videos)
- maybe some video from URU and CIV IV games

The CD is intended to be given to Python beginners in a free course, any

comments or suggestions are welcome.

Thanks
Basem
