There's no reason this can't be done with any language, as long as there are good reference implementations to be found.

But as long as you can read Python there's no reason you couldn't do these in your preferred language with the Python references.

That's a good point, but surely, just as an expert user would want to use the appropriate tool for his problem, also a learning user would want to use the appropriate problem for his tool? By which I mean, an exercise that is a good way to learn Python is likely to be a terrible way to learn, say, R.

Author here. JadeNB you've hit the nail on the head! I have found that each language is better suited towards certain problems. This was a key motivation for making a set of problems specific yo Python. Sounds like you have some great ideas. Hit me up (contact is on the page), we should chat!

Thanks for the invitation! I don't have any concrete ideas, just hopes, but, sure, maybe we could chat. Unfortunately, I failed the Turing test: I can't find your contact information on the Python Practice Projects page.
