I've completed a new version of Thnake, a puplet based on 4.31 that is designed for people who want to learn Python and/or Common Lisp. It includes Python 2.6.4 with Tkinter, PyGTK, and the CherryPy web framework, and SBCL (Steel Bank Common Lisp) with Emacs and SLIME pre-configured, the LTK GUI toolkit, CL-WHO for HTML generation, and the Hunchentoot web server.

It's a 163 MB iso file, and can be downloaded from the Thnake website at http://jasonfruit.com/thnake. Please use the contact information at that site to mail any comments, suggestions, or bugs.

Does it have tutorials - perhaps in Parseltongue?

at the same time as learning the more widespread Python
why not learn the Puppy supported Python like Genie
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/ValaGenieintro

Good luck with this - great initiative

I briefly looked at Genie, and while it's pretty impressive, gcc is a little too heavy for a live-CD. When I get some time, though, I might play with it for my own edification.

No Parseltongue, no . . . I tried really hard to come up with a clever pun here, but failed.

Hi ,
Can you add wxpython to your puplet too. Please please please??? And my next request would be to release them as sfs packages. puppy world already have python+Tkinter sfs. (below)

A`python.sfs version or a wxpython.sfs package would simply be superb!!!

I suppose I could add wxPython, but I don't use it myself, so I didn't really consider it. I know Guido says it's the stuff and all, though, so maybe next release. As far as releasing packages, I'll probably do that soon, once my current move is completed.

Jasonfruit,
I don't know if you visit the forum these days but if your're out there I want to say thanks. Puppy is my main OS and Thnake has been my main puppy since you released it.
