:wave: Thank you for your interest in contributing to the exercism Python track!
<br>
:warning: **Please Note** :warning:

We are currently in the middle of re-arranging and re-configuring our track for exercism V3.
We're **super-excited** :tada: :rocket: -- _and we really want you to be involved!_ -- but all that inital configuration work means **our maintainers can't accept unsolicited contributions at this time.**
Please check our [issue list](https://github.com/exercism/python/labels/help%20wanted) for tasks we've flagged as `[help wanted]` -- _and check back_ -- we'll be adding (_many more!_) tasks with that flag in the coming weeks as we update our documentation and identify exercises, documents, and bugs that need to be worked on before our V3 launch.

Exercism exercises in Python
<br>
Hi. &nbsp;👋🏽 &nbsp;👋 &nbsp;**We are happy you are here.**&nbsp; 🎉&nbsp;🌟
**`exercsim/Python`** is one of many programming language tracks on [exercism(dot)org][exercism-website].
This repo holds all the instructions, tests, code, & support files for Python *exercises* currently under development or implemented & available for students.
🌟 &nbsp;&nbsp;Track exercises support Python `3.8`.
🌟 &nbsp;&nbsp;Track tooling (_test-runner, representer, analyzer, and Continuous Integration_) runs on Python `3.9`.
Exercises are grouped into **concept** exercises which teach the [Python syllabus][python-syllabus], and **practice** exercises, which are unlocked by progressing in the syllabus tree &nbsp;🌴 &nbsp;. Concept exercises are constrained to a small set of language or syntax features. Practice exercises are open-ended, and can be used to practice concepts learned, try out new techniques, and _play_. These two exercise groupings can be found in the track [config.json][config-json], and under the `python/exercises` directory.

### Testing
If you are here to help out with [open issues][open-issues], you have our gratitude &nbsp;🙌 &nbsp;🙌🏽.
Anything with [`help wanted`] and without a [`Claimed`] tag is up for grabs - just comment, and we will reserve it for you. &nbsp;🌈 &nbsp;
All exercises must be compatible with Python version 3.8 upwards. We no longer support Python 2.x.
To test a single exercise:
```
python3 test/check-exercises.py [exercise-name]
```
To test all exercises:
```
python3 test/check-exercises.py
```
### Code Style
The Python code in this repo is meant to follow the [PEP8 style guide](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) (a stylized version http://pep8.org).
This repo uses [flake8](http://flake8.readthedocs.org/en/latest/) with default settings to enforce the coding standard.
### CI build
Here to suggest a new feature or new exercise?? **Hooray!** &nbsp;🎉 &nbsp;
_Please keep in mind [Chesterton's Fence][chestertons-fence]._
_Following the principals there when making your suggestions will likely result in a faster and more enthusiastic response from maintainers._
