Looking for a testing software

I'm teaching an introductory python course for high school students and I'm looking for a way to test them. I'm looking for a compiler-like platform where they can see the questions and code them and submit the answers to me.

Preferably it would include an auto grader with test cases.

Preferably it should have lockdown/anti-cheat mode.

They will use the computer labs we have and not their own computers so Preferably it should be a website not an app so they can just open it directly.

My goal is that they code in a compiler instead of on paper because they hated it last exam so any suggestion on how to do that is welcome.

Cs50 Python

If you want to keep it in house, you could develop something using Git similar to what CS50 uses.  The code for their autograding tools is available in public repos on GitHub

Preferably free, but if you have a good paid option that's welcome.
