Hi Hélène -- Yes I recall your discussions. You may already have checked out some of my Python-related writings here: http://www.4dsolutions.net/ocn/cp4e.html
A backdoor straight to my code, if you don't want to dig through any essays is: http://www.4dsolutions.net/ocn/python/ One thing I specialize in is getting Python modules to spit out scene description language for the ray tracing program POV-ray (povray.org). I also work with VPython a lot (vpython.org). Having polyhedra stored in sqlite3 and retrieving them in Python for visual display is good exercise in using a DB. In my curriculum we work backward from wanting to understand RSA (the cryptographic algorithm) so there's some scaffolding having to do with prime and composite numbers. Right here in this archive there's a lot of buried treasure. Gregor's rendition of a Ron Resch transformation using turtle art comes to mind (ronresch.com).
