Yep, Tim's way is so much more Pythonic.
Here's a new version for tomorrow's class:
def askq2(quiz = quiz1):
score = 0
possible = len(quiz)
shuffle(quiz)
for question, answer in quiz:
print(question)
user_answer = raw_input("Your answer? ")
if user_answer.upper() == answer.upper():
# yes and Yes would both count (but not Y)
print("Correct!")
score = score + 1
else:
print("Correct answer was %s" % answer)
print("Your score was %s out of a possible %s" % (score, possible))
Onward!
Kirby
