If the student submits code that contains a syntax error, the student will get to see rather cryptic Python interpreter information, that is not necessarily helpful for the student.

Similar to testwhat, we'll want a tool that wraps around syntax error, providing more diagnostics.
This is a tough nut to crack.

The most actionable type of feedback might be automatically informing students when they haven't filled in a blank (issue #211), as in testwhat, and then we can raise issues for other enhancements.
