Is it a waste of time to try to get school admins to put python in > their school laptops?
No, absolutely no... Python advocacy is necessary in this venue !
Possibly the best way to encourage Python deployment would be to require it to run some internal script.
Chris has a great idea here... but I think more along the lines of an app that benefits school admins in terms of networking registration, accountability, or messaging. In other words, if I understand Chris correctly, make the script / app necessarily useful to the admins you are trying to advocate to, so that the students reap the benefits of having the interpretor installed and ready...?!?
Great idea... kind regards, m harris -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
