So I'm basically on the runway, waiting to take off -- not really, that's tomorrow morning. The Powerpoint/PDF slides and background essay have been preloaded, as instructed.
If you check the slides, you'll notice a "Python plays well with others" discussion, with mention of PIL, wxPython, POV-Ray, VPython, PyGame and others, but with no mention of entirely free-standing packages with Python bindings. PyGeo (a stage for spatial geometry) is sort of like that, as Arthur talks of an interpreted setting, and more forgiving syntax i.e. several formulations of the same command would be acceptable (but the examples weren't specifically Pythonic as I recall). And Cinderella 2, which I've been evaluating a little in beta, for its Jythonic hooks to the GUI stage (a stage for plane geometry, with refreshing dynamic aspects). Anyway, I don't get into the many bindings (Blender is another great example), even Zope and the Chandler stuff, mainly in the interests of keeping to within my allotted time. My focus is really the mathematics, and the curriculum I'm promulgating, in conjunction with on-the-road field testing, and by a process of multiple collaborations.
