Exercism exercises in Python
Please see the contributing guide
We welcome both improvements to the existing exercises and new exercises. A list of missing exercise can be found here: http://exercism.io/languages/python/todo
- We use minimalistic stub files for all exercises (#272).
- We use
unittest(Python Standard Library) and no 3rd-party-framework. - We use the parameter order
self.assertEqual(actual, expected)(#440).
All exercises must be compatible with Python versions 2.7 and 3.3 upwards.
To test a single exercise (e.g., with Python 2.7):
python2.7 test/check-exercises.py [exercise-name]
To test all exercises (e.g., with Python 3):
python3 test/check-exercises.py
The Python code in this repo is meant to follow the PEP8 style guide (a stylized version http://pep8.org).
This repo uses flake8 with default settings to enforce the coding standard.
This repo uses travis-ci in the following configuration: travis.yml
It will check automatically the code style, the problem configuration and runns the unittests with all supported Python versions.
