Hone Your Python Skills!
3.10 is here
We know, it should be 3.11, right? But we use AWS Lambda and they just upgraded. Bare with us as we migrate the exercises testing each and every one of them. We're still having some issues with pandas and the test Bites will stay on 3.8 for the time being (customized mutpy) We started using the tags to list out the Python version for each exercise. You will see this increasingly over the coming days.

Check out our new performance graphs
We made a new performance page with some nice graphs showing 1) how your score evolved over the months you coded here, including when you earned your different Ninja belts, 2) a radius graph with the progress per learning path. Hope it's as motivating as the greens on the coding streak calendar. Thanks Cedric for the idea!

Small improvements
We tweaked Focus Mode to also hide the right stats/ tags sidebar so you can focus on the Bite even more. You can enable it under Settings. And to never lose mentions from forums, we made a new tab under Messages to show those pings that you have not read yet. For other improvements or feature requests please send us a message here or email us.

New FastAPI learning path 🎉 🚀
Check it out here. In 10 exercises you will write a simple API to track food / calories using this awesome framework. It will take you from complete beginner to building your first CRUD (create-read-update-delete) API. We will follow up with an SQLModel learning path to build another API using a database and ORM. Enjoy!

Bite CLI tools to work offline
There are two command-line tools designed to make working on Bites locally easier: eatlocal (uses Selenium) and biteme (API based, request a key). Give them a try and let us know if you have any feedback. Shoutout to Russell and Will, the creators of these two tools!

New Ninja belt
We have been adding some more algorithm Bites bringing up the total platform score > 800 points unlocking the Paneled Ninja Belt.
(published 4 years, 6 months ago)
Refactor mode
Some folks expressed their desire to refactor / tweak / optimize their code before submitting it. So far the Bite went into "complete" state upon passing the tests and it still does so by default. However, if you want to separate the "save and run tests" from the "complete + get score" step, you can now do so turning on refactor mode. We hope this is useful.

Hone your testing / pytest skills on our platform!
We take great pleasure in announcing that you can now, finally, write Test Code on the Code Challenges platform. That's right folks, we've just launched Test Bites! 🎉 🙌
These are Bites similar to our regular Bites except that to solve them, you have to write the tests! You've learned how to read tests, it's now time to write them. We have not seen this feature on any other coding platform out there so we are super excited to have you try them out here!
Request: If you have code that can use testing, hit reply and send us a link!

Pandas upgrade to 0.25.3
We managed to getpandasupgraded to 0.25.3 which means allpandasBites run on Python 3.7 now as well. This was the last hurdle to leave 3.6 behind. All our Bites run on 3.7 now and hopefully we can soon upgrade to 3.8 ...

New Ninja Certificates
Each Ninja Belt has an associated certificate now! Check the Settings > Certificates where you can generate a certificate of your current belt with your name on it (make sure your name is set correctly).

Bookmark, sort and filter forum posts
While implementing forum @ mentions, we found some more opportunities for enhancements:
1. In Your Messages > Bite Forums tab, you can filter on threads you have received upvotes for.
2. Threads posts are sorted newest to oldest, if you want to see most upvoted ones first, use the arrow at the top of the forum.
3. Each forum post has a bookmark icon which makes it linkable for later reference.
We hope this helps you better navigate the forums. Enjoy and keep sharing your learning, it's really valuable. Thanks

Tag users in the forums
How? Easy: just type '@' and it will show a dropdown of users that have posted in the forum. Choose one or more users this way and post your comment. It will create links to the latest post for each user. We hope this makes it easier to navigate the forums. Some really good stuff gets posted there. Enjoy!

Favorites ("bitemarks") and dashboard filtering
You can now favorite Bites (aka "bitemark" them). Just watch for a ☆ alongside the title. We made the Bite filter smarter on the dashboard: you can now filter on Bites typing done / todo / favorites / in progress and unlocked in case you bought a bundle.
You can also access your favorites in a new tab on the Bites of Py homepage. And lastly we added a link in the dashboard to your last scored Bite. This way you can quickly navigate to the next Bite (by level or learning path).
We hope this makes it easier / faster to navigate our Bites. Keep the great ideas coming!

Bite difficulty levels
The Bite of Py homepage now shows the average difficulty level per Bite as indicated by our users. We hope this is insightful.

Blackify your code and new shortcuts
You can now runblackagainst your code. It shows the results in the console pane below the editor, and it pastes the blackified code back into the editor.

New Save Code button
You can now save your code without submitting/running the tests. Check the new "Save Code" button at the top of the editor.
