There is a free Beta test of a Python 2.4 Certification test available
at Brainbench.com. They are a provider of skills-based certification
exams.
Go to the link below to find the test. It is free to take the test.

I've given up on Brainbench.  Ignoring the possibility that their
certification tests may not be all that useful, they never stopped spamming
me, so I refuse to help them with anything.

I went through their first test module (although using a mailinator
address after this testimonial from Skip) and I think "Beta" is
generous. Try "pre-alpha" - i marked nearly half (maybe more than half)
of the 20 questions as "no correct answer", and a number of the others
included sample code that stank to high heaven.

I also pointed out that "what does this code do?" type questions are
pretty pointless for a language that comes with an interactive
interpreter (I would actually be somewhat disappointed with any Python
programmer whose automatic reaction to such a question involving
deliberately obfuscated code *wasn't* to try it out on the nearest
interpreter prompt).
