At PyCon 2004, a BoF discussed ways to get grant money for Python development. The initial target of the funding requests will be for the development of a "Fat Python" distribution. This will take the form of a bootable CDROM. The application on the CD will cover a variety of educational topics, in addition to teaching introductory computer programming. We plan to develop a demo version of the CDROM in parallel with writing a grant request for funding.
This project is discussed on [http://starship.python.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/python-grants the python-grants list].

Possible Contents
Here's a quick (incomplete and biased by my bookmark file) list of example things that might be included in the "Fat Python". Current thinking is to focus educational/scientific applications.
- Core Python distribution
- GUI toolkit bindings
- Scientific plotting applications
- PyX
- Numeric Python extensions
- Image processing
- ["PIL"]
- PyAC # album creator
- Documentation
- Python Docs
