Bad choice of keywords on my part, I guess. =) I realized I used
"learning" instead of "e-learning" and "building" (since it's called
EClass.Builder) instead of "authoring". I wish SF would let you
specify keywords separately, because it's hard to write a short
description that includes a majority of the keywords users would
search for. But it was categorized under "Computer Assisted
Instruction". :-) 

Seriously, I'm glad that I found another Python programmer with the
same area of interest - I think it's an area that badly needs an open
source alternative to what is out there. Educators aren't really the
types to have bundles of cash to spend on development!

Thanks,
