Tell me more?

Clueless newbie me, thru this door I'm at three deaths and counting.
Does that Py Faq Wiki have a sandbox a la alt.test, and/or a tutorial?

// Death One:

http://pyfaq.infogami.com/_account/in?path=/
requires me to create a persisting ID "between 3 and 20 letters and
numbers", i.e., not an e-mail address.  Grumble, ok.

// Death Two:

http://pyfaq.infogami.com/programming-index
kicked back comment "How can I reverse a string, an array, a list,
etc.?" with "Sorry, that looks like spam. I'm not going to post it."

// Death Three:

Search infogami in clp gives me:
http://howto.infogami.com/createnewpages
which suggests:
http://pyfaq.infogami.com/how-do-i-reverse
which dies at "Sorry, that page could not be found."

//

Next clue?
