[Edu-sig] PyStart - Python Programming teaching/testing program

[Yusdi Santoso]

There seems to be quite a large overlap between Crunchy and PyStart...hey 
but then again...a lot of people reinvent the wheel just for the fun of it 
:p

I wonder what they will do for the automatic grading? If it is to be 
interactive at all (i.e. through the internet instead of an online program), 
then PyStart will suffer the same problem as Crunchy and WebLab, namely the 
lack of sandboxing facility in Python.

Just my £0.02 of thought.
