A running Pippy instance will contain the following user data: | |||
*zero or more python zip bundles, | |||

<Quozl> pippy screen might contain a series of zip bundles. each bundle might contain multiple files, including the setup.py perhaps hidden. learner might load some bundles into pippy, then write a program as a new bundle that imports the other bundles. | |||
<Quozl> i think the program output window might be separate to the main view ... something that pops up when "run" is pressed. | |||
<Quozl> i think the series of examples takes up space unnecessarily. | |||
<m_anish> Quozl yep, and an activity for a kid could be to use the existing examples in a bundle to write more complex code | |||
<Quozl> yes. | |||
<m_anish> Quozl agree | |||
<Quozl> each of the samples would be a bundle. | |||
