Introduction#

This is the documentation for the codingame module.

Prerequisites#

Python 3.8 or higher is required.

Installing#

Install codingame with pip:

python3 -m pip install -U codingame

py -3 -m pip install -U codingame

Installing the asynchronous version#

If you want to use the asynchronous client, make sure to have the correct modules installed by doing:

python3 -m pip install -U codingame[async]

py -3 -m pip install -U codingame[async]

Virtual Environments#

Sometimes you want to keep libraries from polluting system installs or use a different version of libraries than the ones installed on the system. You might also not have permissions to install libraries system-wide. For this purpose, the standard library as of Python comes with a concept called “Virtual Environment”s to help maintain these separate versions.

A more in-depth tutorial is found on Virtual Environments and Packages.

However, for the quick and dirty:

  1. Go to your project’s working directory:

    cd your-project-dir

    cd your-project-dir

  2. Create a virtual environment:

    python3 -m venv venv

    py -3 -m venv venv

  3. Activate the virtual environment:

    source venv/bin/activate

    venv\Scripts\activate.bat

  4. Use pip like usual:

    pip install -U codingame

    pip install -U codingame

Congratulations. You now have a virtual environment all set up. You can start to code, learn more in the Quickstart.
