Clear message

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.

Other Ideas

There are some ready to go apps like

that may show something good out of the box. -- MikeRovner DateTime(2004-04-09T18:59:28Z)
