<DIV>hi caryl & other python students, </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>caryl - you put a burner under my butt with this email. i had gotten the
class email, but it had no links, so i didn’t even think to find the materials
or download python yet. when you say you downloaded the textbook, were you
referring to the lecture notes, or is there an actual textbook? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>i plan to use my windows laptop running python, not the xo laptop, but i
thought maybe if we have an xo laptop team, we could discuss how to use what
we’re learning in this course for practical use with the xo’s. i seem to
remember reading somewhere that they were talking about small teams of up to 10.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>do you know how to find out what version of python the xo’s run?</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Hi Janissa and others,
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you are signed up for the M-MOOC Python class, read on.... If you aren't
signed up but think you might want to be, see the "P.S." below.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am signed up and I know several others from the so-cal and iaep lists are
as well. I don't know how large the teams are supposed to be. If you looked at
the resource from "<B>The Machine" </B>yesterday, it appears they had teams of 2
for the original MIT class. Maybe this will be different. We shall see. </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">They also used a specific version of Python,
2.6.x. The version on the XO may be different. I would rather do mine on my Mac,
but we can probably work on a team anyway.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">I have downloaded the textbook and Python
2.6.6 and have bookmarked the two MIT OCW classes described in yesterday's
message from <B>The Machine</B>.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Caryl</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">P.S. You can probably still sign up. The
class starts October 15, but there is some prep work and orientation going on
already. If you want to be a part of this experiment, here is the link:
