Working on the Exercises

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

Conventions

• 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).

Testing

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

Code Style

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.

CI build

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.

Pull Requests

We ❤️ pull requests! We even 💖 them if they contain well written commit messages!

Please write the first line of your commit message in the following style:

exercise-name: Changes some things

If there are more details to add, put those into the body of the commit message.
