I would mention that blender is a great program but it is complaining
about me having version 2.5 of python and not 2.4 or at least it
claims I don't have python.  pygame is probily a good program to start
with as long as you keep in mind that it is possible that up to 50% of
the p.c. laptops may not be able to run it.  I don't want you to think
of me as a complainer just a greedy graphics collector.  Python-
Allegro this is another intresting one but it requires .net and I
haven't broke into it yet and the docs are pretty lite and it isn't
ready for into stuff yet.  I believe that both tkinter and wxwindows
have canvas where you can use dots but that is alot of work for intro
to programming type stuff but is more cross pc than pygame is..
