Any news on the Python ?

CAS is a good feature for advanced students, but for the high school students (16-18 y.o.), Python is mandatory.

To address these two markets, HP should implement 2 Primes:
- Prime Python (the simpler one)
- Prime CAS (the actual one)
Which correspond to TI83 Python and TI Nspire CAS...

And then offer teachers free ressources and goodies to market those products.

I don't know the answer to this but did HP have any significant graphing calculator market share in France prior to this Python mandate? If not, HP marketing (or the bean counters that run the company) may have decided it was not worth the investment to formally add Python to the Prime at this time. Just a thought.
Also, is there a hard requirement for Python in any other marketplace outside of France?
