[Tutor] python-based system programming and admin?

[Hugo González Monteverde]

MMM strange needs...

I'm thinking that perhaps allowing him to run idle and exporting X 
display to the Mac could be an option?

I used to do perl on linux until I found Python, I find it very easy to 
run quick scripts and system stuff without having to learn BASH, sed, 
awk, etc separately, taht way I can do regexp, listings, recursion on 
directories, batch jobs, etc.
