I might be able to coax his parents into installing Python on one of their MacBooks for that purpose. Of course that may lead to him wanting his own MacBook next Christmas. ;)
So does your daughter work out the programs in IDLE? That's very cool, and encouraging to hear. (This is one of the reasons why I wish we lived closer to my brother and his family, so that it's something the nephew and I could work on together).
