Hi,
Thanks for the feedback.
I will add a trial section that doesn't require login so that new visitors
are able to give the website a try.

Hi,
I created this website for practising python online:
http://www.pyschools.com.
Hope to gather feedback from people here who are interesting in
teaching and learning python.

I'm working on the v3 version of my tutor and while testing some
module code I tried to reload the module in IDLE... I got an error:
>>> import os
>>> reload(os)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#65>", line 1, in <module>
reload(os)
NameError: name 'reload' is not defined
>>>
Has reload been removed in V3?
Whats the alternative? Does a repeated import auto-reload?
I'm surprised and confused...

Found it, its been moved into the imp module.
You need to import imp and then do
imp.reload(foo)
>>> import os
>>> reload(os)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#65>", line 1, in <module>
reload(os)
NameError: name 'reload' is not defined
>>> import imp
>>> imp.reload(os)
<module 'os' from 'C:\Python31\lib\os.py'>
>>>
I wonder why that was considered "a good idea"?

Here you go with the first suggestion: remove the need to log in!
(Haven't really watched at the site content, given that I - like 99% of
the Internet users - wouldn't bother to login just to roam around a
site).

The underlying feature of Peter's solution is called broadcasting. For a
detailed explanation look at:

Hi - I just wanted to add to Mac's comment. I don't have Google
mail/gmail and don't want to create a mail account with them. I was also
wondering if I should just try clicking on links anyway and changed my
mind and exited.
Regards,
Patty

I logged in using my google account and the first page that came up was a
ranking of competitors in the site's Python Tournament. I would recommend
that you bring people to an introductory learning page after their first
sign in (if you keep the sign-in requirement, which I also think is a bad
idea) rather than a competition page--that is, unless you want to intimidate
some (many?) beginning programmers into looking elsewhere.

Thank you both! Broadcasting is a concept I hadn't yet read about, but
knew was important for efficient python programming... thanks for the
link!
