Thanks all who replied.

>From what you are saying it's
Mac
Windows (XP or Vista or Win 7)
Linux

I was hoping to get 'students' to bring begged borrowed or own Laptop
and proceed from there loading first sqliteman,python 2.7 then wx finally
dabo.

Then to get them to suggest a program they would like to write.

Create structure with sqliteman then create dabo application then modify
from there.
Too think a few years ago in so little time you would produce very little.

I think this will give them instant success and a desire to learn more.

I think I will only get windows OS's

Thanks for the speedy replies.
You guys are really great.
