Sounds rigid indeed.  My daughter's public school has a computer lab with 
Python installed on every machine (Windows).  But I'm not sure if they're 
networked, probably not.

If they're worried about Python, is there any programming language they're not 
worried about (e.g. Java?).  If so, what's the reasoning?  Why pick on 
Python?  Or maybe they just aren't into programming, period, because it's so 
"dangerous".
