The contest has ended

Speed . Accuracy . Efficiency

This is a small cocktail of challenges created from our Python Tutorials track.

This is a short learning cum practice session for those trying to learn or switch to Python. Many of these challenges contain short tutorial notes and examples as well. This might be a quick, hands-on way for those aspiring to pick up this powerful language. Youtube was written in Python, so were some of the first versions of the Google crawler and in several universities such as MIT and Berkeley the SICP course is taught in Python nowadays.

The last two challenges are CodeGolf challenges which are often best suited for languages like Python, Ruby or Perl - you may choose whichever language suits you best. But, they might be a nice place to try out your Python skills as well.

Welcome to the world of Pythonistas!
