My advice (and I don't speak for anyone but me here): Trying to make Python work with a Lego brick is too esoteric to be worth your effort. On the other hand, you could still use Python (in IDLE or other shell) to talk about loops, other control structures. In my case, I dive into classes/objects almost from the first lesson (per these Showmedo videos): http://showmedo.com/videos/series?name=JkD78HdCD Also maybe check out Andre's RURPLE: http://showmedo.com/videos/series?name=RUR-PLE (I think screen robotics make more sense for a lot of us, not so costly, Legos are expensive fantasies, like 'Survivor' and other so-called "reality shows"). Use the RCX native language and interface for what it is, sounds like you've paid for it. There's no reason to adopt an "all Python, all the time" approach, even if you think it's one of the best languages ever (as I do).
