There is absolutely no reason the teacher has to edit the file maually.

Make an "Edit Questions" mode, or a separate question_editor.py program 
that operates on the same data files. Provide one box where the teacher 
types the question, and a second box where the teacher types the answer. 
Then save the Q/A data in whatever format you decide on (XML, or text, 
or other)
