Python Engineer Challenge
=================================================


The purpose of this challenge is to understand how you use Python and Django.


Python Script
------------------


Jenkins (http://jenkins-ci.org/) is a open source continuous integration server.


Create a script, in Python, that uses Jenkins' API to get a list of jobs and their status from a given jenkins instance.
The status for each job should be stored in an sqlite database along with the time for when it was checked.



Django App
---------------


Make an application which stores names and email addresses in a database (SQLite is fine).
  a) Has welcome page in http://localhost/
      - this page has links to list and create functions
  b) Lists all stored names / email address in http://localhost/list
  c) Adds a name / email address to the database in http://localhost/add
      - should validate input and show errors


This is a django based application so please make sure you use correctly all of django infrastructure (form, template inheritance, ORM).
Also make sure the app does not have major security problems: CSRF, XSS, SQL Injection.

Make reasonable assumptions, state your assumptions, and proceed.
Once you have completed the challenge let us know and share your thoughts on the problems/solutions.

Good luck!
