Hi Al - really excited to see you here on an AMA. I bought "Automate the boring Stuff with Python" a while back, and it sat on my shelf until a few weeks ago. Going through the first few chapters has got me excited about development again. You have a great writing style - and the book is well balanced with a lot of examples and exercises to work through. I particularly enjoyed your style of illustrating double negatives in python with a plain English example of multiple tiers of negatives cancelling each other out. Great stuff.
I have been looking for a solution that will allow me to run python and idle on a mobile platform, so that I can take advantage of the 2.5 hour a day commute, much of which has no internet access. I find all the interpreters for iOS require an internet connection to work. Can you recommend an IDE for mobile platforms (phones or kindles) that would work for commuter code learners?
