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.

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