try:

• create boilerplate solution script
• automatically retrieve puzzle input (via aocd)
• submit solutions
• collect stats on when each quiz was started and finished

pip install git+https://github.com/jannismain/advent_of_code.git

Follow aocd's Quickstart guide to provide your AOC cookie/token either as AOC_SESSION environment variable or as ~/.config/aocd/token file.

If a given puzzle has no corresponding solution script yet, try will offer to generate a boilerplate script for you:

$ try
Create new solution script for 2022/06? [Y/n]:

If try finds a solution script for the given puzzle, it will execute the script with the input data (retrieved by aocd) and read the solution from stdout. Script output given on stderr is echoed and ignored. If multiple lines are found on stdout, only the last one is considered as the answer.

$ try
XXXXX
12345
Answer: 12345
Submit? [y/N]: y

If a test() method was implemented in the solution script, it can be executed by pointing pytest to the script or simply appending t to the task argument given to try.

$ try 12t
...
======= 1 passed in 0.00s =======

try will save timestamps of when you started with a quiz (i.e. the time, it generated the solution script for you) and when you submitted the correct solution.

To see the time between start of quiz and submission of correct solution:

$ try -
2021
- 1a solved in  0:02:10
2022
- 9a solved in 20:23:27
- 9b solved in  2:21:07
- 10a solved in 0:06:22
- 10b solved in 0:59:08
