Thanks, I never thought about the translation issues.  I hope to create
the interface with pyGTK and glade designer.  Hopefully the features of
translation will not be too hard to implement.  I will keep your idea in
mind as I prepare to code.
THANKS FOR ADDING ME!

Thanks for this information. THis is exactely the kind of application
I was looking for.

I would be willing to help with the translation of the application to
French. Indeed, I am a Belgian teacher (physics and numerical
analysis) and I am willing to teach Python to help in all my classes
(help with physics and replace matlab if possible). So, your
application would be very welcome.

But all my students speak French and not English. Hence my proposal.

I suppose that if the application uses gettext, for the menus but also
for the texts of the lessons, this will simplify the availability of
your application in many different human languages.

I did.

Have you got any idea if you could present your application at
Europython 2007 and gather there support and help from Python users
and fans ? This takes place in Vilnius from July 9th till 11th, 2007.
See http://europython.org/

Thanks,

Nicolas
