Re: Further evidence that Python may be the best language forever
Sure! I don't think we've publicly posted the teams' implementations, but the original client code is all up here--http://www.windward.net/codewar/2013_01/windwardopolis.php The issue with the original link may be if you're running Firefox--it's a Vimeo video, and I know they have some ongoing issues with Firefox that prevent their videos from displaying or playing back.

Further evidence that Python may be the best language forever
My company recently hosted a programming competition for schools across the country. One team made it to the finals using the Python client, one of the four default clients provided (I wrote it). Most of the other teams were using Java or C#. Guess which team won? http://www.windward.net/codewar/2013_01/finals.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
