Introduction to Python

Supporting material for our "Introduction to Python" talk.

Dependencies

To install the depencies for the talk:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Tests

To run the (very basic) smoke tests, do this:

cd test
./run-tests.sh

This simulates a run through the game for each of the available implementation to make sure they aren't diverging.
