[Edu-sig] Python for CS101

[Douglas S. Blank]

Edu-sig members,

I am proposing that we move our intro courses at Bryn Mawr College to 
Python. Although I have been using Python for a few years, and have
used it in the upper-level courses for teaching robotics, I haven't
taught an intro course with it.

I am now responding to my colleagues' questions. If you have useful 
comments, or if you have questions too, please feel free to add them here:

http://emergent.brynmawr.edu/emergent/PythonForCS

or send them to me (or post them here). I hope when this process is 
complete, this data will be useful for others ready to make the plunge.

Thanks for any feedback,

-Doug

PS - you'll have to make an account on the wiki; sorry but that cuts 
down on the kiddie hackers, and only makes it slightly less wiki (wiki 
wiki is "quick" in Hawaiian).
