What is this?

As I am practicing Python on codechalleng.es - check out my profile there: tonmarton - I need this repo to solve challenges - called Pybites - locally.

Below you can find how I set up my local environment and worked on Pybites.

my PyBites badge:

With solving PyBites you receive points depending on the difficulty of the bites. These points get you badges - milestones. Here you can see my current badge:

set-up

Using pipenv, since the environment variables can be supplied with a .env file this way. For this a couple of dependency versions are changed from the original requirements.txt - the requests and feedparser packages.

• add the environmental variables to a new .env file (this enables using the eatlocal package to automate the downloading and unzipping of Pybites). Use the .env-example file and rename it.

    PYBITES_USERNAME=<username>
    PYBITES_PASSWORD=<password>
    PYBITES_REPO=</path/to/local/repo>
  

• create the virtualenv and install the dependencies:

    pipenv install
  

• activate virtualenv:

    pipenv shell
  

usage

• select a problem to solve on codechalleng.es and remember the number of the Pybite.

• download the problem with eatlocal:

    eatlocal download <bite number>
  

• write a solution in the <bite name>.py:

• run tests:

    pytest
  

• submit solution with eatlocal:

    eatlocal submit <bite number>
