<div>Victoria, try getting hold of portable Python. It's on the Python site (it's in the 'alternative implementations' link) and version 2.7.6 has pygame and some nice tools to do exactly what you want(interface development). It's in the QT tools that comes
packaged with this.</div>
<div>I made up a few USB's with this on them and we are motoring along!</div>
<div>Email me directly If you'd like further ideas....</div>
