Python Senior Challenge

Welcome to the Python Senior Challenge repository! This project is designed to test and improve your advanced Python skills, with a strong focus on debugging and developing simple yet effective strategies for complex problems.

What is this?

This repository contains a series of challenges aimed at senior Python developers. Each challenge is crafted to:

• Assess your debugging abilities.
• Encourage you to find simple, innovative solutions to tricky problems.
• Help you practice and demonstrate your expertise in Python.

Environment & Dependency Management

We use Poetry for dependency management and virtual environments. If you don't have Poetry installed, please follow the official installation guide.

Toolkit CLI

The toolkit.py script provides a set of helpful commands to interact with the challenges:

• List all challenges:

  python toolkit.py list

• Show documentation for a specific challenge:

  python toolkit.py show <challenge_name>

• Run the tests for a challenge (start here):

  python toolkit.py test <challenge_name>

• Run tests for ALL challenges (summary):

  python toolkit.py test_all

• Show diff vs reference answer for one challenge (if answers/ presente localmente):

  python toolkit.py diff <challenge_name>

• Show diffs for ALL challenges (only those con diferencias):

  python toolkit.py diff_all

Notas:

• La carpeta answers/ (ignorada por git) contiene soluciones de referencia para uso interno de reclutadores.
• Los comandos diff y diff_all comparan challenges/<name>/solution.py contra answers/<name>/solution.py.

Tips

• Start by running the test for a challenge to understand the failure and current issues.
• Read the provided documentation for each challenge in its README.
• Favor clear, minimal, y robust solutions.
• Usa test_all al final para confirmar que no rompiste otros challenges.

Happy hacking!
