[Aslug] Fwd: Python Aboriginal ebooks for 3K OLPC laptops

[Adrian Casey]

Probably a good place to start is to download GCompris and have a look at an 
existing game.  That's where I'm about to start.

Python is an easy language to learn.  I think the bigger challenge would be to 
come to grips with the GCompris object model.  There's a bit of a write up on 
the GCompris site -: http://gcompris.net/docs/en/python.html
