IDLE developers, I have been in contact with Greg Wilson of Software Carpentry, discussing possible projects for the Google Summer of Code. He brought up adding a record and playback function as an addition to IDLE so that students could work through writing cod

Tal, Although I think that Sikuli is an interesting project, it is still a research prototype rather than a well developed project, like IDLE. Programming with screenshots is a novel approach, but using a metafile would allow a teacher easily and directly convert existing code to a tutorial or les
