There is an experimental morphic-like environment in Python by Paul
Fernhout (former Squeaker). It's only a few weeks in development, see
the video linked from
http://www.mail-archive.com/edu-sig@python.org/msg02492.html
Python's "edu-sig" mailing list is an interesting place for sure, but
I doubt they'll buy into the visual, constructivist approach of Etoys
anytime soon.
