Way cool that Gibson Guitar was a sponsor of OSCON that time, shows
how geeks are being seen from a Nashville angle: have laptop will

Hmm, I don't see anything in the original post that refer to "wider
use in school
Just to be less ranty, as a math teacher (albeit a gnu one), I share
an investment in matrix and vector notation, sigma notation, Riemann
sum notation and all the rest of it (set notation, trig notation -- in
which the diagrams are almost glyphic, a bridge to a more right
brained approach, post-Bou
Count me a skeptic that there's anything unattractive about Python
that's to blame for keeping it from wider use in school systems.
Once you go down that road, of soliciting off-the-cuff feedback,

Hi Jurgis,
I actually started something similar in 2007:

My biggest hurdle was (as you correctly noticed) the lack of secure sandbox
environment for Python. Even though my code would allow you to execute
arbitrary Python code over
Hello,
it would make python more attractive,
if there would be possibility to try it online
like ruby has http://tryruby.hobix.com
maybe this could be made with jython , http://code.google.com/p/epy/
or crunchy on GAE
how difficult it would be to have a secure thing,
