Fun with Python 3

A hands-on tutorial intended for learning Python3 by solving problems.

Problem Statement:

Python is an open source programming language. In 1991, Guido van Rossum made Python. It's code is open source and all development happens on GitHub.

Source code URL of Python: https://github.com/python/cpython

Github also provides a nice feature to show the contributors to any project.

Let's write a program to show

• Top 10 contributors of CPython project with their names
• Numbers of commits made by the contributors
• Find list of contributors having the same number of commits

Let's Solve it

Prerequisites
