I built a short presentation demonstrating the use of CodeSkulptor3 (Python 3).
Feel free to follow the links and to offer a critique.
CodeSkulptor3 is a free Python language 'sandbox' for messing around with simple programs

# CodeSkulptor3 runs Python programs in your browser.
# Click the upper left button to run this simple demo.
# CodeSkulptor is tested to run in recent versions of
# Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

# Handler for mouse click

# Handler to draw on canvas
def draw(canvas):
# see PDF for layout and coordinates of shapes s1, s2, s3, s4
# using zip function to zip xcoords to ycoords for each s
# using the zip function is easier to type -- much fewer parentheses
# as an example, after the zip s1 = [(30, 30), (90, 30), (90, 70), (30, 70)]
s1 = list(zip([30, 90, 90, 30],
[30, 30, 70, 70]))
s2 = list(zip([170, 190, 140],
[60, 100, 100]))
s3 = list(zip([80, 100, 100, 130, 130, 70, 60, 60, 80],
[110, 110, 160, 160, 200, 200, 180, 130, 130]))

[150, 130, 180, 200]))

# Create a frame and assign callbacks to event handlers
frame = simplegui.create_frame("Home", 300, 250)
frame.add_button("Click me", click)
frame.set_draw_handler(draw)
# Start the frame animation
frame.start()
