Exercism exercises in Python

Please see the contributing guide

We welcome both improvements to the existing exercises and new exercises. A pool of exercise ideas can be found in the x-common repo.

All exercises must be compatible with Python versions 2.7 and 3.3 upwards. Therefore please test your changes with these versions.

Test a single exercise with Python 2.7:

python2.7 test/check-exercises.py [exercise-name]

Test a single exercise with Python 3.3:

python3.3 test/check-exercises.py [exercise-name]

Test all exercises:

python test/check-exercises.py
