Wanted to download this direct to the Pi, but Midori does not understand how this indirect link works - it downloads some unreadable text, but not the zip file.
I'm going to have to find some other way to get the library onto the Pi.
I couldn't help but snigger when I read the comment in the common header header file "Try to strike a balance between keep code simple for novice programmers but still have reasonable quality code". Forgive my cynicism, but here we have an example of PURE geeksville - the usual C++ cacophony of angle brackets, ampersands and curly braces without a letter (let alone a word) of commentary. How does this sit with the RPi foundation's objective of making the RPi a platform for teaching programming to the next generation? It's entirely appropriate, therefore, that I paid nothing for it - thank goodness! Sorry - I usually express gratitude for the free stuff that I grab from the web - so (please) think of this post as a wry comment rather than a vicious swipe.
Thanks Drew, yeah I read that as well, and was wondering if someone had newer info....
So, the question becomes, any 'guidelines' for using Python on the gertboard? One of the considerations when I chose the Pi was its use of Python since it is realtively simple to learn and understand. Particularly for students new to computing.
I was reading the Gertboard manual last night and it does state there are plans to do that. I suspect there will also be various efforts from the community as well.

Umm.. For a complete novice, this file is garble. I don't understand any of it. I understand these files contain C code to perform some function on the Gertboard but there's no simple explanation to what…
