The PataPata project is an experiment focusing on taking ideas from Squeak and Self and moving them to Python, as well as trying to go beyond the ideas in a Pythonic and educational constructivist way. It also aspires to help people build microworlds and other learning tools for the Python platform, using a prototype-based programming approach.

Thanks for the clear explanation of patapata.

This was my first exposure and it was quite

pleasant :-) Cheers.

I normally do not do Tkinter, but I will have to look at this, thanks.

This was my first look at PataPata and at the end I thought that it was showing me the basics of what it could do, but I had no gimpse of what could be ultimately achieved with it. Rather like a video showing basic arithetic expressions at a Python prompt. Now to find out a little more ... :-)


Showmedo is a peer-produced video-tutorials and screencasts site for free and open-source software (FOSS)- with the exception of some club videos, the large majority are free to watch and download.

Educating the Open-source Community With Showmedo

Although as important as the software it supports, education and documentation are relatively neglected in the Open-source world. Coders love to code, and explaining how best to use or improve the software tends to be deferred or even sidelined.

At Showmedo we believe the community can play a vital role here and also say thanks for the tools and software that make our lives easier. If you have a piece of software you love or a programming langugage you are enthusiastic about, why not make a screencast showing others how to use it? All the stuff you wish you'd been told, the tips, tricks, insights that would have saved you time and frustration.

Screencasting is easier than you think, and we're happy to help you. You can emailus for advice or just use some of the how-to screencasts on the site. This screencasting learning-pathis a good place to start.
