But please keep in mind that some of us in this list joined the list to talk
about "Python in Education - Computer Programming for Everybody" and cannot

other hand, there must be some other list where python-language-additions guys
use to hang around.

hasn't he clarify it in http://www.python.org/sigs/edu-sig/ ?
That's what I read when I decided to join this forum.
