But keep in mind that the particular Python tutorial we're talking about is intended for an audience of folks who already know how to program. I vote against dumbing this down.

Now that I've actually read the tutorial (wink) I see the true target audience. For some reason, I thought it was oriented more toward the CP4E audience.

Is there a python "children's book" complete with big red dogs and rabbits in waistcoats? That would be an interesting project...
