I actually use GCompris (running in Warty) for my pre-school daughter.
However, I just tried running it in stock Hoary and I got no sound
even though I have the proper packages installed. Need to check what's
wrong (GCompris is in Universe btw). Even the GCompris Editor doesn't
work although I got a menu entry on it (same observation in Warty
btw).

There is a Python wrapper for GCompris
(http://gcompris.free.fr/docs/en/python.html) although with what I
know, all the boards are done in C.

Hope this helps.
