The version of python on the Mac, Fedora, XO, etc. while they might not be the
same, should be similar enough that all people learning the language should
find 99% of their program code function the same. There is that 1%, but my
estimation is that you would have to use more advanced or esoteric functions to
find a difference. There is the transition to Python 3 but I'm not up on that
difference. So.. dont worry about any issues until there are issues and then
just ask someone with more python skill to explain.

hi caryl & other python students,
caryl - you put a burner under my butt with this email. i had gotten the
class email, but it had no links, so i didn’t even think to find the materials
or download python yet. when you say you downloaded the textbook, were you
referring to the lecture notes, or is there an actual textbook?
i plan to use my windows laptop running python, not the xo laptop, but i
thought maybe if we have an xo laptop team, we could discuss how to use what
we’re learning in this course for practical use with the xo’s. i seem to
remember reading somewhere that they were talking about small teams of up to
10.
do you know how to find out what version of python the xo’s run?
janissa

Hi Janissa and others,
If you are signed up for the M-MOOC Python class, read on.... If you aren't
signed up but think you might want to be, see the "P.S." below.
I am signed up and I know several others from the so-cal and iaep lists are
as well. I don't know how large the teams are supposed to be. If you looked at
the resource from "The Machine" yesterday, it appears they had teams of 2
for the original MIT class. Maybe this will be different. We shall see.
They also used a specific version of Python,
2.6.x. The version on the XO may be different. I would rather do mine on my
Mac,
but we can probably work on a team anyway.
I have downloaded the textbook and Python
2.6.6 and have bookmarked the two MIT OCW classes described in yesterday's
message from The Machine.
Caryl
P.S. You can probably still sign up. The
class starts October 15, but there is some prep work and orientation going on
already. If you want to be a part of this experiment, here is the link:

History of the MOOC
I signed up for the Python class. They mentioned that people can work
in small teams. Is there anyone taking the class who’d like to form an XO
laptop team? Janissa
