Hi Brian
You could make great use of XML-RPC here. XML-RPC is /really/ easy to
use.
Here is a simple example:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/81549
You put procedures on the server that will check the args against a the
required result, and report back to the student w

Oh, I didn't mean it to completely replace me grading things, but I think it
would be
useful if there were a lot of little assignments that could be done

What happens if someone-- perhaps not even someone in the class-- does

What happens if someone-- perhaps not even someone in the class-- does

Brian Blais, just an idea. Create an online form to upload the tiny
program(s). Such programs can be one for file. Then on your PC you can
run a script that loads each of such programs, and runs a good series
of tests, to test their quality... Such tests can be about all things,
speed, coding quali

Hello,
I have a couple of classes where I teach introductory programming using Python.
What
I would love to have is for the students to go through a lot of very small
programs,
to learn the basic programming structure. Things like, return the maximum in a
