Great idea! Here some brainstorming: Documentation, documentation, documentation! For example: - Official Python docs - List of beginners tutorials from the wiki, possible with copies of these on the CD - Dive into Python - How to think like a computer scientist - ... - Quick Reference Guides - Coding Style guide - The Zen of Python (import this) (maybe as a nicely formatted HTML page) Of course, you have to check licences of these. Would be cool to include a PDF with a nice cover for the CD, so people can distribute new copies. - Cool Python graphics (I have a PDF with a trainspotting-look-alike ad, but I don't know where I got it from) - Interviews with the BDFL (might be a bit of work to get the permissions for these) - A page with testimonials (Google, IL&M, whatever) - Flying Circus scripts ;-) Chris _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
