Robert, If you're committed to the Python aspect of this, you might also consider CVXOPT (http://abel.ee.ucla.edu/cvxopt/index.html). CVXOPT is generally for convex optimization, but purportedly allows use of glpk for milp problems. I'm not much of a python programmer, so don't have much direct experience with this. CVXOPT is also integrated into the sage environment which might be nice for the educational context.
