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.
