[Visualpython-users] Portable Vpython

[Mark H. <mha...@st...>]

I realize the answer to my question is probably "just try it," but I
thought I'd ask to see if, as a neophyte, I am missing something huge
before I "just try it."

Has anyone put Vpython onto an iPod? My son would like a portable PC
version and a Mac version on our retired 4GB iPod Mini, so that he has the
ability to use Python and VPython at school ("No one cool actually uses
their iPod for music, Dad!"), without downloading anything new to the
school computers. I am guessing that this would work well with a PC, and
should work on a Mac as long as the school has X11 loaded. All I would
have to do is install to the iPod? 

Is this worth a try? Are there pitfalls to watch for?
