Solving problems from Google Code Jam

Setting up the same Python environment as Google

The Google environment is running 64-bit Debian 9.8 (stretch). For Python 3, this means:

• 3.5.3 (package: python3.5)
• numpy 1.16.2
• scipy 1.2.1

For Mac OS X:

# Install Python 3.5.3
pyenv install 3.5.3

# Create a virtual environment
pyenv virtualenv 3.5.3 GoogleCJ
pyenv activate GoogleCJ

# Upgrade pip and setuptools to latest versions
pip install -U pip
pip install -U setuptools

# Install numpy and scipy
pip install numpy==1.16.2 scipy==1.2.1

# Optionally install Jupyter so you can use Jupyter Notebooks
pip install jupyter
