Hi John,

There are a number of us on the list who are using Python in an introductory
programming class. I'm using the book "How To Think Like a Computer
Scientist" which is available at http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCSpy/.

A suggestion was made a couple weeks ago to make a list of teachers and
schools who are using Python. Anyone know what became of it. Last I heard
someone was going to approach the ibiblio folks to see if they would host
it.

You've obviously seen the edu-sig page at python.org. If you've got
questions, fire away. We'll do our best to help.

-Tim
