[Edu-sig] ttyrec => ePython distance learning..

[Jason Cunliffe]

For anyone interested here's Satoru Takabayashi's wonderful ttyrecpage:

<description>
ttyrec is a tty recorder. Recorded data can be played back with the included
ttyplay command. ttyrec is just a derivative of script command for recording
timing information with microsecond accuracy as well. It can record
emacs -nw, vi, lynx, or any programs running on tty.

Please set your terminal size to 80x24 and have fun!

..etc

ttyrec is immediately usable for anyone on Linux system, and I think any
*nix including MacOSX. Seems to have been based on some Ruby work.

I think it would be great to have a native python version of ttyrec/ttyplay
built-in to all distros: IDLE, PythonWin, VPython, PyGeo, PythonCard,
PyGame..

With or without that, E-Python tutorials, distance learning, training and
seminars could take on a new kind of dynamic life. This is brilliant tool
for learning/teaching the sequence rhythms of using Python. Literally, show
what is programming?
