Is one in the works? I don't know of anything quite like JavaBat. I think you will find that experimenting with Python is much easier than with Java. It is very simple to try out Python in the interactive interpreter, in IDLE or in an editor. Many programmers' editors can be configured to run Python programs directly from the editor. You might possibly like to try Crunchy, which puts an interactive session right into a tutorial in your web browser: http://showmedo.com/videos/video?name=1430020&fromSeriesID=143#TB_inline?&width=776&height=618&inlineId=videoPlayer Some puzzle and problem sites are listed here: http://personalpages.tds.net/~kent37/stories/00021.html#e21puzzles-and-problems Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
