[Edu-sig] Python-Only Moodle?

[catherine curley]

Hi to all

Any only new to python and trying to terach myself and introduct my 12 year
old.  Would be very interested in keeping in touch with your ideas but
afraid would not have any input at this stage.  To keep up, should I try to
get into moodle also - please direct me.
