Working on the Exercises
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
Code Style
The Python code in this repo is meant to largely obey the PEP8 style guide.
This repo uses flake8 to enforce the coding standard. When you submit a PR, it needs to pass the flake8 tool with no warnings, or it won't be accepted. Here are the settings used by the build system:
flake8 [your-code-here.py] --max-line-length=99 --select=E,W
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.
If you're interested, Tim Pope even has an entire blog post on good commit messages.
