    Hi!
    I am computer science teaching assistant in University of Tartu,
      Estonia.
      I'm on my way to get a PhD in CS education. Over the last few
      years I've developed a nice tool for teaching (Python) programming
      to the beginners -- Thonny IDE (http://thonny.org). It's main
      strength is its program run-time visualization capabilities (see
      the homepage for screenshots and video).

      
      Thonny is growing in popularity (I'm proud that Raspberry Pi
      education team has chosen it to be Raspberry's default Python
      IDE), but it's not in the Fedora repository yet. 

    
    I've prepared the package (SPEC,
      SRPM)
      and I was able to build
      it for Fedora 27, Rawhide and Mageia 6. I haven't found the
      sponsor yet (review
        request). 

    
    I'm willing to take care of Thonny in Fedora for long time.

    
    I've written (or contributed to) some other open-source tools,
      mostly in Python (eg. virtual robot library
        for teaching programming) but also in Java (statical
        checker for SQL strings in Java code).
    best regards,

      Aivar
