Recent versions of NetBeans do very well with Python. Eclipse with Pycon isn’t bad.
Not sure why you think Python is too big and complicated. Seems ideal to me.
To start at the beginning (flashlights and morse code, switches, relays, telegraphs, and, or circuits,... modern computers, check out “Code,” by Charles Petzold.
I recommend Scratch (MIT), Alice (Carnegie Mellon) and Python, for teaching kids.
I have some video lessons here:
http://young-programmers.blogspot.com/
on those three, plus Jython and Pygame, Scala and Lift.
What I'd like to have is the convenience
of DHCP for quickly adding new machines to
a network, but still have an easy way to
identify the machine involved in a security
or policy violation (a firewall
log shows that a student went to a bad web site,
for instance). Ideas?

Carter Sande, young coauthor of Hello World, did a guest video lesson on the Young Programmers Podcast: http://young-programmers.blogspot.com/2009/11/carter-sande-presents-pythoncard.html

Hey, you're destroying my illusion that when I ssh to another of my computers I'm actually there.
