Oh! I meant we hadn't had time to prepare the kits for the kids, just that.

I'll appreciate those patches. Do you want me to add you as a committer?

That's good, but I found some incompatibilities between the latest commit
of nxt-python and python 2.5.1, so I had to modify a few lines.
Anyways, latest Dextrose builds use python 2.6.1 and everything works
out of the box there.

Other thought about this point... wouldn't nxt-python package become a
dependency for TurtleArt if we don't include it in the activity?

Mmm... I'd like to get my hands on that code.
