Boa-constructor is a project supported by sourceforge. It is similar to IDLE

but with more functionalities.

Zope is open CMS, Content Management System, developed mainly by Python.

It owns its http and ftp server abilites.

Knoppix is live Linux CDROM. As booting from this CDROM, Linux is ready for

users. LiveZope is Knoppix- based integration of Python resource, including

Zope with its products, VPython, biopython etc.  It is built for establishing 

Linux-based courses including Math, Phy and Med.

I purpose to integrate the Vpython codes into Zope server but no achieved.

It can only run on Xterm or IDE env.

The animation is displayed but removed as catching picture by the program

"ksnapshot".

Yes, LiveZope is also released under GPL license. 

The previous LiveZope-0.1 can be downloaded from:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/open-outcomes

or

ftp://ftp.texmacs.org/pub/TeXmacs/knoppix

And the last LiveZope-0.1.2 can be downloaded from

ftp://math.cgu.edu.tw/pub/KNOPPIX
