Python Piscine

This project has been created as part of the 42 curriculum by yaqliu.

---

Practice repository for Python fundamentals, organized as progressive modules and exercises.

Overview

This repository currently includes modules module00 through module10.

• module00 to module02: Python basics, functions, and exceptions
• module03 to module05: data processing, I/O, and pipeline-style exercises
• module06 to module07: packages, imports, and OOP design patterns
• module08 to module10: advanced scripting topics and continuation modules

Most exercises are small standalone scripts. Some modules also include helper files, datasets, or archives used by the exercises.

Learning Goals

Module 00

• basic syntax, variables, expressions
• functions, conditionals, loops, recursion

Module 01

• clean function design
• typing, docstrings, and introductory OOP

Module 02

• exception handling patterns
• custom errors and defensive coding

Module 03

• data structures and transformations
• analytics-style scripting

Module 04

• file reading/writing
• stream and archive handling

Module 05

• multi-step processing pipelines
• composable data flow

Module 06

• package structure and imports
• module boundaries and dependency hygiene

Module 07

• OOP architecture and interfaces
• inheritance/composition in a card-game domain

Module 08-10

• advanced scripting and Python concepts
• continuation exercises by topic

Requirements

• Python 3.10+ recommended
• no external dependencies for most modules

Some exercises include their own local dependency files (for example, module08/ex1/requirements.txt). Install those only when needed for that specific exercise.

Quick Start

Run scripts from the repository root:

python3 module00/ex0/ft_hello_garden.py
python3 module01/ex0/ft_garden_intro.py
python3 module02/ex0/ft_first_exception.py
python3 module03/ex0/ft_command_quest.py
python3 module04/ex0/ft_ancient_text.py
python3 module05/ex0/stream_processor.py
python3 module06/ft_circular_curse.py
python3 module07/ex0/main.py
python3 module08/ex0/construct.py
python3 module09/ex0/space_station.py
python3 module10/ex0/lambda_spells.py

Suggested Study Workflow

1. Complete modules in order (module00 -> module10).
2. Finish each ex* before moving on.
3. Run the script after every change.
4. Keep filenames unchanged to match exercise expectations.
5. Refactor only after behavior is correct.

Notes

• Some modules include extra assets (.txt, .json, .tar.gz) used by exercises.
• In module07+, several exercises are class-based and use main.py entry points.
• If a script imports sibling files, run it from the repo root so relative paths remain stable.
