Adventkit -- Advent of Code in Python

These are my solutions in Python to some of the Advent of Code puzzles. My goal is to make the code readable while also making it reasonably fast.

Installation

You can install Adventkit using pip:

pip install adventkit

Alternatively, after cloning the Adventkit repository, the code can be run as is.

Requirements

• Python 3.6.1+
• Puzzle input files placed in the right locations: the input for day 1 of Advent of Code 2019 is read from input/year2019/day01.txt (relative to the current working directory).

Optional, to run src/run.sh after cloning the repository:

• A POSIX-compliant shell (/bin/sh)
• A shell command python3 to run Python 3.6.1+ (any implementation)
• If extra speed is desired on selected puzzles: A shell command pypy3 to invoke PyPy 3.6+

How to run

After installing Adventkit, you can run a single day's solver like this:

adventkit 2019 10

Cloning the repository gives you more options:

• Run a single day's solver: src/run.sh 2019 10 (or python3 src/run.py 2019 10)
• Run all solvers: src/run.sh
• Run all solvers from one year: src/run.sh 2019

When invoked with the optional argument --time, src/run.sh prints the execution time for each day. If the command pypy3 invokes a suitable version of PyPy, src/run.sh uses it for any solvers that are expected to run faster under PyPy than CPython.

Testing

To run the tests, first install pytest and pytest-subtests, as well as your local copy of adventkit. Then run the command pytest.
