+"""This server runs an XMLRPC server that can be submitted code and tests
+and returns the output. It *should* be run as root and will run as the user
+'nobody' so as to minimize any damange by errant code. This can be configured
+by editing settings.py to run as many servers as desired. One can also
+specify the ports on the command line. Here are examples::
+
+ $ sudo ./code_server.py
+ # Runs servers based on settings.py:SERVER_PORTS one server per port given.
+
+or::
+
+ $ sudo ./code_server.py 8001 8002 8003 8004 8005
+ # Runs 5 servers on ports specified.
+
+All these servers should be running as nobody. This will also start a server
+pool that defaults to port 50000 and is configurable in
+settings.py:SERVER_POOL_PORT. This port exposes a `get_server_port` function
+that returns an available server.
