For example we could rotate the latter while keeping the former fixed for

The edu-sig page has never mentioned PES.

Lee, if you are looking for a classroom teacher to try out pyguin in
the classroom, sign me up! I'll have it installed in my lab on
Thursday, when I return, in any case. It rocks!
Now a question: how difficult would it be to get pyguin to output svg images?

Walter's Turtle Blocks already saves as SVG, and it's written in Python.

If this equity requirement is not too much of an imposition, perhaps

Hi André! I've spent the last month converting python educational materials
from lore to sphinx.
For the results, see:

http://www.openbookproject.net/pybiblio/gasp/course
The only missing feature at this point (sphinx rocks!) is support
be able to work on it during the Summer. The first 12 chapters are
finished, making it a perfectly usable resource with which to start out.
I hope this all helps.
Thanks, and good luck! Please let me know if there is anything else I can
