For another solution, I wonder whether you could make use of the new Abstract

Hi Brian
You could make great use of XML-RPC here. XML-RPC is /really/ easy to
use.
Here is a simple example:

You put procedures on the server that will check the args against a the
required result, and report back to the student

I do not teach (much to my regrets) but I have been thinking about what you

Brian Blais, just an idea. Create an online form to upload the tiny
program(s). Such programs can be one for file. Then on your PC you can
run a script that loads each of such programs, and runs a good series
of tests, to test their quality... Such tests can be about all things,
speed, coding

What happens if someone-- perhaps not even someone in the class-- does
