Do you have any suggestions of good books around python and numpy/scipy?

@rzeta0 my friend, what do you think about the code using np.roll() (in the linked sketch)?

I'm afraid it would be a bit hard to explain on a short class. So I'll use the simpler inefficient function...

The next big step in efficiency would be using #scipy I think:

def count_live_neighbors(status):
    """Counts the number of neighboring live cells"""
    kernel = np.array([
        [1, 1, 1],
        [1, 0, 1],
        [1, 1, 1]
    ])
    return scipy.signal.convolve2d(status, kernel, mode='same', boundary="wrap")

Today I "cheated" and used scipy's MILP solver for Part 2. Discretion is the better part of valor, as they say, and writing a constraint solver by hand is not what I had planned for this Wednesday morning. The existence of `uv` to deal with all the dependencies makes reaching for scipy for even little scripts like this an easy choice.

Part 1 was trivial. Treat the lights and the buttons as bitmasks and recognize that buttons XOR themselves so they're pressed at most 1 time each. Generate the smallest combination of buttons that XOR to the target.

Part 2 is probably solvable via something like DFS before the heat death of the universe, but it would take way too long. Instead, I used scipy's integer linear programming solver, defined the constraints, objective, and bounds, and let it do its thing.
