Python Solution Starter

A minimal Python starter kit with solution code template for competitive programming, coding challenges, and algorithm development.

Features

• Clean structure: Well-organized project layout
• Solution template: Pre-made main.py with placeholder code
• Dependency management: requirements.txt for package management
• Setup configuration: setup.py for package distribution
• Git-ready: .gitignore configured for Python projects

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7 or higher
• pip (Python package manager)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/akalmaliky-spec/python-solution-starter.git
   cd python-solution-starter

2. Create a virtual environment:

   python -m venv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\\Scripts\\activate

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Run the solution:

python main.py

Development

Editing the Solution

1. Open main.py in your editor
2. Replace the solve() function implementation with your code
3. Add helper functions as needed
4. Test your solution by running python main.py

Adding Dependencies

1. Install a package: pip install package-name
2. Add to requirements.txt: echo package-name==version >> requirements.txt
3. Update your code to use the new dependency
