I just had an idea. Ask 'What is python? __________________" or "What 
can you do with a python?' with a free-form fill in the blank answer. 
Look for 'computer', 'program' or 'language' in the response. 'snake' 
fails the test.

Or 'Enter a Python keyword (search the tutorial if you do not know any) 
____'
