Tcltutor like program for python
Noufal Ibrahim
I mentioned a plan of mine to make a TclTutor like python program once on the python-tutor list. Someone there mentioned the edupython lists interest in such a program.
I spent a little while coding up a prototype. I've built the interface and 7 lessons loosely based on the standard python tutorial by Guido.
The program uses Tkinter for the GUI and a simple XML format to keep the lessons in. The code is available at http://nibrahim.net.in/downloads/pydagogue-0.1.tgz .
I'd appreciate any comments/feedback on the project. It's in it's early stages so I should be able to make changes without any major hassles.
Thanks.

Well done; I really like the look of the interface.

I don't have any concrete suggestions to make for improvements.
Not to steal this thread but, in case you don't know about it yet, I'd
suggest you take a look at crunchy.
You can find it here: http://code.google.com/p/crunchy/
Just to provide a brief comparison:
Crunchy uses Firefox instead of a Tkinter window for the GUI.
It uses html (with small additional markup) instead of a custom XML
format
for the lessons.
I believe (but then again I am biased) that Crunchy is more flexible
than pydagogue.
And I would be interested in your comments on it.
