I did not try that one but developped my own a few years ago: http://www.info.ucl.ac.be/~dooms/python/python.html It is a morphix mainmodule which is easily complemented by minimodules. I have been using it since to teach Python to adults. The CD includes VPython, Jython, mysql, Boost.Python, etc... I gets a little old now and would need a upgrade (Python 2.3, some newer network cards not supported). > I'm curious: is it even practical to expect to walk into most modern > educational computer lab in a typical school and expect to be able to > reboot all the computers to run from your own Python CD?
