Voyagers vs Python!!

Was reading about how UF researchers are using Judas snakes to lure out giant pythons from the Everglades, and stumbled on the "Introducting Python" video.

This 24 minute video (200+ MB download) contains interviews with luminaries from the Python community interspersed with "A Python Love Story". It was created for use as an introductory activity in a computer science course using Python.

Created by a few high school students with help from the author of How to Think Like a Computer Scientist:Learning with Python, this video has enjoyed great reviews in the Python community. A comical blend of professionalism, programming passion and.. hey, "let the snake be your teacher"!!
