This is outdated. There is a new one:

please let me know if i'm missing anything as well as if any
information is incorrect or out-of-date. also, does anyone know the
latest about Alice (in particular, did they switch from Python to
Java?) also, are there any good turtle ot vpython (or other 3D)
drawing tools?
As I'm the author of Pythons new turtle module (2.6 and 3.0), I'm -
naturally -
thinking that it is a good turtle drawing tool. In fact it is much more
than merely a
turtle module and includes features to create event driven programs and
other things.
As it is part of the Python standard distribution it can be used 'out of
the box'
So I think this deserves to be mentioned.
(Did you not know about it or do you dislike it? If cou are really
interested in it
have a look at this:

)
Generally the Edu-Sig page has been reorganized recently by Andre Roberge
and now contains a lot of up-to-date information on your topic.
Regards,
Gregor
also, are there any intros that use PyGame to teach
programming via game-writing?
on a somewhat related note, i'm doing 3 Python knowledge/education
events within the next few months.
