pytudes

pytudes is Peter Norvig’s collection of short Python programs written to practice and demonstrate specific programming skills. The name is inspired by musical études, meaning compact exercises designed to build mastery through focused practice. The repository includes readable solutions, experiments, notebooks, and scripts that cover algorithms, puzzles, probability, search, language processing, simulation, and mathematical reasoning. It is useful for programmers who want to study elegant Python code while learning how experienced developers approach problem solving. Many examples emphasize clarity and compactness rather than framework-heavy engineering. pytudes is best understood as a learning library, a coding style reference, and a set of practical programming studies.
