[Edu-sig] Python for Algorithms and Data Structures...

[Peter H. Froehlich]

Hi there,

I am about to teach an introductory course (read: third course in 
the intro sequence, university level) on algorithms and data 
structures. I am looking for experiences in teaching such a course 
using Python.

I have used Python successfully last summer for a compiler course, 
but since the "default" language for this course is supposed to be 
C++ I have a harder time balancing between the student's previous 
experience and my desire for a clean presentation (using Python as 
"pseudo code" of a sort).

What this all comes down to: If you have used Python in any 
capacity for a similar course, please let me know about it. :-)

Peter
