[Tutor] Python tutor

Greetings all,
   Are there any programs for python that offer an "interactive" tutorial?
Something on the lines of the builtin emacs tutorial (which is
basically just a buffer that tells you to try this and try that with
itself) or the Inkscape tutorial (which is an SVG document that comes
along with inkscape which has instructions on manipulating it so that
the reader learns stuff). Another example that comes to mind is the
tcltutor program to learn TCL. It contains an instruction window, a
code window and an output window. The user is told something, they try
it and the output is visible. I personally used it when I was learning
TCL.

   The python tutorial is great and probably all one needs to learn the
language but I think a more interactive program to teach it might be
useful. I googled a little and found Guido van Robot although I'm not
sure if it's exactly like what I'm talking about. Are there any others?
Do you all think it'll be a worthwhile project?

Bye
