Advent of Code: Solving Your Puzzles With Python

This repository holds the code for the Real Python Advent of Code: Solving Your Puzzles With Python tutorial.

Pytest is used for testing. You should first create a virtual environment:

$ python -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate

You can then install pytest with pip:

(venv) $ python -m pip install pytest

The aoc_grid.py example uses Colorama and NumPy. To run that example, you should also install those packages into your environment:

(venv) $ python -m pip install colorama numpy

The puzzle solutions only use Python's standard library. Note that the solution to Day 5, 2021 uses structural pattern matching which is only available in Python 3.10 and later.
