Python is a new area of expertise for us. We make "Challenges" for a bunch
of languages and we're excited to finally have Python released. Give it a

"What is the correct number of spaces for indentation in Python?"
What does the following code do?
def a(b, c, d): pass
My answer: "Defines a function which returns None", but that isn't one
of the choices.
"Which is a correct way to perform exponentiation in Python?"
1) math.pow(a,b)
2) a^b
3) a*2b
4) None of the other responses are correct
Apparently I was wrong by answering 4), and 1) is the expected answer.
