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
