I do think this result is a legit approach, as this platform already has a built in voting for clever solutions.
And with no doubt this is a clever approach using both sides of the environment, pythons ecosystem as well as the way codewars implements its engine. Reminding people to not reinvent unneccessary pieces that lie there usable for the task is valuable, if you ask me.
I disagree, this is against the main objective of this platform, which is to learn how to implement stuff.
What do we learn from this solution ? Nothing.
Requiring a regex and moving to 6 kyu would be more appropriate for Python.

Very clever, but against the spirit of codewars, perhaps?
