Hello Bill,
Your contributions of exercises for PyKata are welcome. At the moment,
we are classifying exercises with simple keywords: (lists, strings,
logic) etc. Later we plan to have the website customizable for
teachers like yourself who have not just a few exercises, but an entire
course optimized for a particular group of students. When a student
visits pykata.org/~punch, they will see just the problems you have selected.
Looks like we are getting good response to Andy's solicitation for a
Google Summer of Code project finishing our website development. I'm
confident we will have this website fully developed by the end of the
summer. Our key advantage is open-source teamwork. That should provide
us with plenty of content, covering every educational need from junior
high to graduate classes in engineering.
-- Dave

Given all the discussion about exercises, we though we'd throw in some
of the work we've done. MSU has taught its CS1 course in Python since
the Fall of 2007. Each semester we have the students complete 11
programming projects (as homework). The homeworks start out easy and
work their way up. Each project focuses on a particular topic i.e.,
strings, working with files, dictionaries etc.
We've collected those projects on a webpage. Each project has some
supporting material and a solution. However, at the moment the
solution is not shown. We are working on that.
Some of the projects ended up in the book we recently published
("Practice of Computing Using Python", Punch, Enbody) but there are
over 58 listed here (and more coming) so there is a lot more listed on
the web page
http://www.cse.msu.edu/~cse231/PracticeOfComputingUsingPython/index.php
If you have any comments, we'd love to hear them.
