Yes, we should. It is Python 2.5.

Absolutely. I added a contribution guidelines section to the site.
Will update the site in a bit.

That is the case right now.

Other tests are those doctests which the students don't see. This is
to see if a student really got it right, or is just taking a shortcut.
Let's say he submits a solution, and sees that he has a failure on a
test that expected 4, where his solution returned 3. Instead of
figuring out that he has an "off-by-one" problem, due to his
misunderstanding of the way the range() function works, he just sticks
in an initial test. If the inputs match exactly the failing testcase,
return 4. He gets full score on the problem, but hasn't really solved
it.

Coming up.

Also in the pipeline. In another couple of hours hopefully.
