I think such things can be hugely motivating! Although not as puzzley as pythonchallenge, recently I've been hearing some buzz about Clojure's puzzle intro site called 4clojure.com. All the "puzzles" are just fill in the blank programming problems. Nothing that seems like it would be hugely exciting, and yet people are motivated by the instant no-download-solve-on-web immediacy of it, the format of submitting answers until you get it right, the leaderboard and the progress tracking, etc.
