I think I've got a realistic design for a doctest-driven beginners' programming courseware suitable for presenting HHTLCSpy - type materials that can be put together in a week or so with my level of skill.

Thanks, Michael! I've written up a brief description of the tool I'm looking for here:
http://dc.ubuntu-us.org/projects/doctest-quiz.php
and a briefer launchpad spec here:
For those interested, you will find attached a simple app that essentially does what Jeff described, albeit entirely on a single computer. (Thus, if you can run Python on that machine, you can run it via a web browser without sandboxing). It requires CherryPy. Here's what is required: 1. Download and install CherryPy. http://www.cherrypy.org/ 2. Save doctestquiz.py in the tutorial directory that comes with cherrypy (so you can use the default configuration file). 3. Run doctestquiz 4. Point your browser to http://localhost:8080/index 5. Have fun!
