I went through their first test module (although using a mailinator address after this testimonial from Skip) and I think "Beta" is generous. Try "pre-alpha" - i marked nearly half (maybe more than half) of the 20 questions as "no correct answer", and a number of the others included sample code that stank to high heaven. I also pointed out that "what does this code do?" type questions are pretty pointless for a language that comes with an interactive interpreter (I would actually be somewhat disappointed with any Python programmer whose automatic reaction to such a question involving deliberately obfuscated code *wasn't* to try it out on the nearest interpreter prompt). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
