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). - We use context managers (
with self.assertRaises(\<exception type\>):) for testing for exceptions (#477). - We use
assertIs(actual, True)andassertIs(actual, False)rather thanassertTrue(actual)orassertFalse(actual)(#419). - We use a comment string in the test file to reference the version of the exercise's
canonical-data.jsonthat tests were adapted from (wording can be found in: #784).
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 automatically check the code style, the problem configuration, and run the unittests with all supported Python versions.
We ❤️ pull requests! We even 💖 them if they contain well written commit messages!

Please try to follow the The seven rules of a great Git commit message like to capitalize the subject line and use the imperative mood. If there are more details to add, put those into the body of the commit message.
