What is the origin of Pippy? Is it an adaptation of the [http://pippy.sourceforge.net/Pippy Python interpreter for Palm OS]? --[[User:Lsloan|Lance E Sloan]] 21:53, 13 November 2007 (EST)

Hey! Cool! Where did this come from? Is this in the build? If not, where can I get it?

I'm working on Bityi (translating code editor) which has obvious applications to this. Please contact me on my talk page or via email. Homunq 01:21, 22 August 2007 (EDT)

Hi Homung pippy is in the last two builds but i recommend you that you try it in the last build (553) RafaelOrtiz 05:12, 22 August 2007 (EDT)

Compliments, and sugestion of comments in the code examples

I think this activity will be really cool for kids to play with python in a sandbox environment and create small python programs.

Also, from an educational point of view, would it be good if there where examples that showed/explained parts of python syntax/language? This could be done with commentaries and would be excellent so that kids didn't have to leave the screen to access to a mini-reference book to help them in their mini-programs (which the current examples are a sort of). It would surpass the old interpreters that you are trying to emulate (like in the spectrums, etc.).

On the other hand, you could say that it should belong to a separate "Python for Kids" ebook, or perhaps part of the more full-blown Develop activity.

Anyway, it's a great thing already in its state!
