Python Standard Library для спортивного программирования

Стандартная библиотека Python содержит множество инструментов, которые значительно упрощают решение задач спортивного программирования, но многие из них остаются незамеченными начинающими участниками. В статье собран краткий конспект по наиболее полезным модулям и функциям стандартной библиотеки с небольшими примерами.

In today's #Topcoder #SRM, I got 0 due to using
if (v[r][c])
by mistake. What I expected to use was
if (v[r][c] == 1)

Thoughts:
1. Using int as enum is error-prone. At least I should not use magic numbers.
2. Implicitly comparing an integer with zero is dangerous. I'm spoiled by the strict typing in Rust and Java.

I've given up on #AdventOfCode at day 17 (tetris). It became too time-consuming. Still, it was a nice experience.

The puzzles started off trivial, then became gradually more challenging and also tedious. Being conditioned by programming competitions and things such as #TopCoder, I've been looking for clever algorithmic tricks to solve some, but in the end the size of problems was such that brute force usually worked okay (once I had to run the program for 30 minutes).
