python-code-kata

Repository for Code Katas based on @pragdave's http://codekata.com/

Setup

1. If you don't already have a virtualenv installed (or a virtual environment process), setup it up with help from the Python Packaging User Guide. In short, for Python <3.4, securely download get-pip.py and then execute the following (omit sudo if you can):

sudo python get-pip.py
sudo pip install -U setuptools
sudo pip install virtualenv

2. Now setup a virtual environment for this repository.

cd python-code-kata
virtualenv .
source bin/activate

3. (Optional) Install any additional libraries. Pytest is pretty awesome.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Test Solutions

Place code to solve the Kata in kata_code.py and run test_kata.py with built-in unittest or pytest if installed in step 3.

cd 00_kata_template
python test_kata.py

or

cd 00_kata_template
py.test test_kata.py

Rinse, repeat. See you at the user group!
